Subject: Re: [Ferrari] SR-71Hearing about the Russians attempt to shoot down (or just catch) a SR71 was amazing - by the time the SR71 appeared on the radar and they *started* to launch aircraft, the SR71 was long gone. It's hard to comprehend how fast 2500mph (or more if needed) actually is.
A while back a SR71 took one of the British "Top Gear" guys was given a ride. Seems like it should have been an American (me!!) getting that incredible ride.

Subject: Re: [Ferrari] SR-71Erik, Clyde,Sled Driver was a great book. The new version is even better. If any of you are a fan of Sled Driver, Brian has released a new updated version of the book and both go along with "The Untouchables" which was his follow on to the original Sled Driver. Now that I'm retired an my days of flying CAP for the SR's over the Barents are long behind me I've moved back to Northern Calif. and live very near Mr. Shul and have talked with him many times and visited his Studio/Gallery in Marysville (Just outside of Beale where the Blackbirds roosted).Rich Graham is a great guy and we've had several conversations over the years ( I chased him down at the Pentagon an made a HABU pitch at him in the 80s). Rich has also authored a number of books (4 or 5 now) which are all great reads if you are into this.As I mentioned in my F1 rant, my heroes are the designers (Murray, Tyrrell, Brawn, etc) but for anyone who purports themselves as an engineer, the GOD of all modern day engineers is Kelly Johnson. He too has an autobiography just called "Kelly" but perhaps the best book regarding the A12/SR71 and all its variants is by Kelly's protege and successor, Ben Rich simply called "Skunkworks". Ben designed the inlet spike/throat/doors on the SRs and if you don't understand what that means to the speed of the aircraft, you are truly missing a monstrous achievement from the mind of man. And it still stands today. It was a sad day when they retired the SR71s... both times.Thanks for sharing that video, Clyde. I'll call Rich and find out if that will be released as a DVD? It's about time I make another donation to the JT Vida foundation.RickFrom: Clyde Romero <clyderomerof4 [at] bellsouth.net>

Richard Graham was nice enough to give us a cockpit checkout in both the pilot and RSO stations. We shot this on location at the Frontiers of Flight Museum at Love Field Dallas Texas. This simulator was used to train every operational SR pilot before they ever set foot in the actual plane.
Here is he link to the entire interview I did with Rich. I hope you like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeBu6mRDaro&feature=c4-overview&list=UUYYT43aHuHaVcdbuJ4YYCjw<image001.gif>
