cool plane. I seen one in person at the Dayton Air Museum, it was
smaller than I thought. But they had the Valkyrie there to and that thing is
HUGE!

When the Smithsonian had there's in it's own temporary hangar it looked
small. Now that I've had to walk around that thing a gazillion times
it seems a lot larger.

I hate spelling flames, but I guess I can handle an apostrophe flame.

It's "theirs" and "its", as in "had theirs in its own temporary hangar".

Or, if you actually want to get it correct, "theirs".

The word "their" is already possessive, so the apostrophe isn't used to
indicate possessive in that case.

Whoops!

Oy, the curse of erroneous corrections. It should have said "theirs".

Much of the SR71 POH is available on-line at:
http://www.sr-71.org/blackbird/manual/

Section 5-8 (Flight Envelop Limits) is a good read. The whole POH is very
interesting.

Excellent link!

I like 5-10, "Prohibited Maneuvers",

"Stalls, spins, inverted flight, and intentional
inlet unstarts are prohibited."

Geee...ya think?

If you are in Kansas at Hutchinson KHUT, the Kansas
Cosmosphere and Space Center is worth a visit. They have an
SR-71 in the lobby and you can touch it and even walk under
it. They also have a huge collection or real space
artifacts.

Ditto the Intrepid Air & Space Museum in Manhattan. The Blackbird is
spotted right on the flight deck. There's also one at the Pima Air
Museum in AZ. Great acft collection there.
