NASA appears to be pulling its SR-71 Blackbird, the fastest production plane ever made, out of retirement as the Trump administration teases its new line of hypersonic surveillance jets — but doubt…
Seeing Blackbird fly again after all these years would be incredible. I’d love to know what NASA has planned for it.
I saw Shul (and Walter too) speak at an event near my house shortly before he died. He closed with this story, which if I’m honest I’m sure 90% of the crowd was there to hear. It was like the Beatles playing Hey Jude or something.
I’ll stop and read this, every time.

I think there’s part of every nerd that loves seeing a real expert casually embarrass some cocky hotshot.
Thanks for taking the time. I must have read that five times before but it’s such a great story I’ll always take the time.
