at least a 20 year old story.
To: BulletBobCo
this story has been going around the airline/aviation community for at least 20 years. it’s probably BS. Military aircraft like this fly above class A airspace so civilian Air Traffic Controllers have no responsibility over them. In addition, performance capabilities are classified info.

The Space Shuttle was faster than a SR-71, but I think the SR-71 is far cooler. The speed in this story is around Mach 2. The Blackbird is supposed to be capable of Mach 3+.

Great story. I live near near Mt. Whitney and the Mojave Desert and we see these plane all the time.

The most remarkable engineering achievement and it was designed over a half century ago with a slide rule.

My dad helped build out , field and maintain this aircraft , working out of the Skunk Works and up at the ranch . Very proud of my old man . He had been an original member of the newly minted USAF ,transitioning over from USAAF/9thAf to the new SAC in 1947 . The greatest generation .

I think all F18 pilot had to do was go into after burner and call in again.

always funny no matter how often you read it.
one of my old customers was a Blackbird test pilot, he just laughed derisively when I asked if it could fly Mach 3 and 80,000 ft
