Did this one crash at Edwards, or is it the one that crashed near Las Vegas, Nevada in about 1966 or 1967?

Pat answer. Bravo Sierra.

You didn't address the gun issue.

I have three guns and haven't fired one in thirty years. Don't even have ammo for them. The only reason I haven't sold them is because I might need them for defense of my home some day in the future.

Glad you are trained and prepared for the catastrophe that you want to bring onto OUR nation. Did it dawn on you that guns without bullets are less than effective for defense?

Note: OUR doesn't include you.

[commish]

Was there from 86-89.

I am not sure, I think we are talking about the same incident. The Edwards, and that was take-off point, that one flew into the ground, bits and pieces scattered overb a half section of land. Okinawa was an overshot of the runway, walkaway for the two man crew. The airframe was essentially intact.

Blackbird Stealth!
Designed in the late 1950s by aeronautical genius Kelly Johnson at the mysterious Skunkworks, the SR-71 Blackbird was the world's first stealthy aircraft, designed to over-fly enemy territory with impunity while photographing 100,000 square miles in an hour. While serving six American presidents, it saw action on hot and cold war fronts alike. Interviews with crews and commanders, combined with unbelievable footage, put viewers in the cockpit of this amazing spy plane, flying at speeds of 2,000 miles per hour. cc
