Hmmh, come again Marc? about the 'Col Stapp' and face-distorted glory..'
whats that mean? I met and chatted with an SR71 driver once for about an
hour at Mildenhall, England. His face was disfigured from some kind of
burns incident, would that be the face-distortion you're talking about?
This guy knew his Blackbird very well indeed.

I like that. Didnt know you guys referred to them as Sleds though.
And
particular connotation?
I always presumed as in the "Rocket Sled" that Col. Stapp rode to fame
and face-distorted glory...
