One of my all-time favourite aircraft is the SR-71 Blackbird. I have a version of it for Flight Simulator X, but unfortunately it’s not very realistic. Above 30,000′ it gets quite squirrely and it doesn’t fly nearly as high or as fast as it should. Recently my cousin James introduced me to this online SR-71 museum. There’s some neat stuff there, including the SR-71 flight manual.

My Dad spent a lot of his Navy career on an Aircraft Carrier. The USS Lake Champlain, to be exact. Though he passed away, he passed on to me a love for airplanes. Which I will always have. That is a pretty cool looking plane!
