- Summary:
- The SR-71 Blackbird covered the distance from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., in 64 minutes, cruised 16 miles above the earth's surface, and avoided surface-to-air missiles by simply outrunning them. For anyone who has ever wondered what it was like to fly the SR-71 on a secret Mach 3 reconnaissance mission, Col. Richard H. Graham (Ret.) has the answers. For fans of this technological marvel, the result is a rare perspective on how a handful of pilots and navigators transformed themselves into SR-71 Blackbird crews, turning their unique aviation talents to account in unprecendented ways.
