Summary

No craft ever captured the curiousity and fascination of the public like the SR-71 Blackbird. Nicknamed "The Sled" by those few who flew it, the aircraft was shrouded in secrecy from its inception. Entering the U.S. Air Force inventory in 1966, the SR-71 was the fastest, highest-flying jet aircraft in the world... When it was retired from active service in 1990, all of its speed and altitude records were still untouched... Now for the first time, a Blackbird pilot shares his unique experience of what it was like to fly this legend of aviation history
