A short slideshow of the SR-71.
« on: December 10, 2008, 07:44:46 AM »
My uncle (retired air force) always sends me films about the air force aircraft.  Here's one I'd like to share with everyone.  The music sucks but some of the facts about the SR-71 are quite amazing.  Enjoy......

Nice slide show. Great aircraft, I'm sorry they had to put them away.
