“at least a 20 year old story.”

Try 35+

On my wall is an autographed color photo of an airborne 71 signed by my friend Bill Groninger.

We crossed paths in Nam back in 67 and again in 84 in San Diego where he personalized the photo to me.

All the stories are true.

that’s super cool. because thats exactly what I want someone to do with (what was then) our country’s most secret aircraft: draw unnecessary attention to it in order to win a biggest dick contest.

Well, the fuel leaking at the seams confirms what my friend’s dad told me about the blackbird, that it would leak jet fuel all over the runway when taking off.
