I'm going to watch tonight.

Strictly on a photography level, this https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/04/160426101307.htm interested me and I don't think I can get it on eBay yet. Often enough, NASA picks up aging technologies from the classified world, but who knows...

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 was stationed at Ona Point, Okinawa from 1967-69 with the USAF Security Service as a Morse Intercept Operator. On several occasions I intercepted Chicom tracking of the SR-71 as it flew up the coast of VN and China - I wonder if I ever tracked Brian's sled.

You never know! But it could have been a possibility.
Thanks for your comments.

The sled holds the coast to coast speed record, 68 minutes. The Skunkworks made the the best airplane ever to have flown
