That Time An SR-71 Made A Emergency Landing In Norway After Spying On The Soviets
It was virtually unannounced—and not particularly welcomed (foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
'The Bododian Express', I love it!
I was stationed at Beale AFB from June 66 to May 68. I did not work on the SR 71 but I did work on the supporting Tankers and the B52's stationed at Beale. Our Hangars were right across from each other. Funny thing about the SR just about anywhere on base you knew one was going on a mission as the start cart could be heard all over the base. When the Black beard hit the afterburners on take off the ground shook as if an earthquake was taking place.
Thanks! A great read. I really miss the 80's.
Great piece of history. Thanks for the story
just another thought - Preacher would've loved this ... miss you Cap !
Amen, Preacher. It's just not the same here at FA without you.
I recall his story of meeting one at Kadena when it lost an engine. Never see an SR-71 story without remembering that. RIP Preacher.
