Going through the air at 3,100 fps is just awesome. I actually think I'd rather fly in this then be in a spaceship

outrunning missiles would be funner that shooting them and never losing a plane to enemy fire is quite badass considering the places it flew over.

How many SRs did that chase down and shoot ? The A-12 and variants are no doubt a more amazing aircraft. But 'badass'? I think down and dirty and in the trenches when I hear badass. Proof that we are getting more retarderated is that both the F-4 and SR-71, with modern avionics, would be perfectly viable in todays airspace. |

I was lucky enough to grow up near the air base’s
Even then it was rare to see one flying ... The first time I was in third or fourth grade one flew over the school breaking the sound barrier....I spotted it before the sound and boom. The other three times were near the local air base’s .... they sound like nothing else Here's a link to the most amazing SR story .... link |

The BUFF doesn't make the list at all.
The things I'd like to fly more are the shuttle, F-22, F-18, F-16, and the A-10. |

There is something sexy about having to leak fuel on the ground since the pressure @ flight will seal the joints.

Op, don't tell me you live in Ohio and only just now have made it to the AF Museum at Wright Pat...? For anyone that's never been the AF Museum absolutely DESTROYS the Smithsonian, Udvar Hazy and Pima. If you've not been GO. They're even building another hangar to move all the stuff from the Annex back over to the main museum and off of the base.
