Smile I remember
I was in the Army in 66-68, stationed in Okinawa. I saw an SR-71 take off from Kadena airbase. One day eight B-52 were landing and an SR-71 landed between the fourth and fifth one. He was very fast. I heard later he was in the hanger before the bomber behind him got stopped. We could not see the air field from the hiway because of the dirt piles around the airstrip. We have one on display in Huntsville, Ala at the Space and Rocket Center. Drive down I-565 and there it is on the side of the road.
