I think Johnson did us a great favor. SR-71 sounds much cooler than RS-71.
"Jay Honeck" wrote in message oups.com... 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? According to Bill, this is 100% true. He still laughs about it. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
