As long as you guys are swapping lies about the Blackbird, would someone please recount the story of the SR-71 that suffered a flamout just this side of Africa on its way back to the east coast. As I understand it, that makes the SR-71 the record holder for long-distance gliding (as in un-powered flight). Of course, it could be just another whopper, but I've never gotten the "real poop" on that particular incident. Richard Caldwell IIRC: That was a U-2 and he flamed out near Bermuda.. huge difference in the glide ratio of SR-71 & U-2
