"Thomas J. Paladino Jr." wrote in message ... Large SNIP Did we ask for overflight rights for the SR71? I don't know for sure, but I doubt it. I do recall, however, reading newspaper articles asserting that certain nations, including North Korea and the USSR, had complained to the US about SR-71s violating their respective airspaces; that NK had fired (an exercise in futility) SAMS at SR-71s; and that the USSR was so miffed by such alleged intrusions that it had dusted off one of its early IRBMs (which would have the range and could develop the speed to run down even an SR-71) and fitted it with SAM-type tracking gear in order to demonstrate their determination to see such alleged overflights come to an end. Does anyone on the ng have any info as to whether the above claims were true? Thanks. |
