I recall attending the Rancho Murietta Air Show several years ago. One
of the highlights of the show (for me, anyway) was the SR-71 from Beale
coming into to the field at about 1000 AGL. When he crossed the
runway, he went to full power and pulled up; fortunately I had my
camcorder running. I got to admit it was absolutely awsome.

Is there a way you could share that video with us?

I don't think I have ever seen a link with a video of a flying 71.

On the same subject, I remember reading that the huffer to start a 71 had a
Chevy 350 powering it, and that it took every bit of it.

Anyone? True, or not/details?
