Believe I asked you this question before but you didn't have the
chance to ask Bill.

A friend (?) of mine here in Houston was on a console when the Shuttle
blew up after launch. He said that a '71 was also lost because the
shuttle fuel burned all the oxy out of air in a large area and '71
flamed out and crashed.

I never was able to validate this story. When you see Fox please ask
him if it is true (I don't think so as ascent trajectory is kept clear
of aircraft for safety on launches).

Would love to hear his stories but am to far away and don't travel
well any more.

Be sure the flags are up this Memorial Day for those who are no
longer with us.

Big John

To those of you who have reserved a seat for Bill Fox's talk about his years
working as a project manager at the Lockheed Skunk Works during the
development of the SR-71 Blackbird (7 PM tomorrow -- Tuesday -- night),
please arrive around 6:30 PM. Seating is limited and by reservation only,
so please (for a change!) don't bring a bunch of friends.
