Title: A short slideshow of the SR-71.
Post by: Obie303 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......

A friend sent me a tribute that I though was very good. It's in powerpoint format so you can't view it unless ya got powerpoint.
