This video is 52.39 minutes, but worth every minute. The story is compelling and the photography is legendary.

Brian Shul crashed at the end of the Vietnam War in Cambodia, with very little chance of survival ... and beat the odds. He is funny and informative ... he did it and lived to tell the story .... He talks about life's choices and outcomes, but laced within his message are incredible stories of his years as a SR71 Blackbird pilot, including his legendary photography. The SR 71, known as "The Sled", is the fastest plane ever built. It owns all the flying records.

I spent 3 years at Hickam AFB, Hi. The lab I was assigned to processed 4 SR-71 missions a year. I got to see some interesting "stuff". Several years later, I spent a tour at Kadena, Okinawa and got to watch the Black Birds take off & land. Amazing imagery from an amazing bird. We used to tell folks you could count the dots on a golf ball from 80,000 feet.

Thanks for commenting on this. The SR71 was certainly an amazing craft.

Thanks for posting this; what an incredible video! I did get to see one up close at the Boeing Museum in Seattle and it was hard to take your eyes off of it. Thanks again.
