Hope you don't mind me adding this LJ. My favoritw Blackbird video. From a pilot's view. And what a view.
One of my favorites too, but that's not a Blackbird

My uncle flew those.....well, not exactly but the A-12.
My grandma used to say he flew SR71s after that out of Japan but I don't know.

"For I know the plans that I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11
Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Matthew 5:11
Indeed we call blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of the perseverance of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, because “the Lord is compassionate and merciful. James 5:11
Ran across this today so I'll plop it in here. I have always loved reading the story, but it sounds better coming from the man. Everyones favorite speed check story towards the end, but his story was interesting and worth a listen.
