Please ask Bill if the story regarding the 71's designation and LBJ is true... Supposedly, the original official designation should have been RS-71 for "reconisance - strategic" but LBJ muddled the words and called it an SR-71 when it was unveiled to the public... No one wanted to correct the Prez so it stuck...True? False? The placard beside the SR-71 at the March AFB museum in Riverside tells that story, and if I recall correctly, it also said that they change the tires after every six landings.

Thanks for the information. Is it okay for Jay to ask the questions, anyway?
