Thanks for this, Jeff...those old pressure suits were hilarious. The Blackbird was a wonder of the Cold War... Steve

You know, it never even occurred to me that the air being thinner obviates most of the problems you'd normally get with ejecting at that speed. Interesting and cool.

Educational sir. I too am fascinated by those wonderful beasts, but you've got most everyone covered in your knowledge of them. Thanks! - Ed on the Ridge

Very cool, Skunk Works by Ben Rich is a fascinating book about Lockheed's Skunk Works, I'll have to get another copy.

I love to hear anything new and obscure about this type of aircraft. I've heard the airspeed one upping the planes and jets several times. Very entertaining.

Brant

How many times was it used?

Ysbrand van der Werf

Fascinating indeed!

Neat little snapshot of human ingenuity, history, and engineering. Interesting to see just how crazy insane, and crazy smart, us humans can be - at the same time. LoL
