Hangar Flying HL 370 (1)

In the Fall the Cinci Chapter of Pilots for Christ, of which I volunteer with, has invited former NASA SR71 Pilot Ed Schneider to address our National Convention here at CVG.  I was looking for a few neat videos of this incredible bird he flew and thought you might enjoy them.  As a side note, I flew into IAD years ago and noticed they had parked a Blackbird in the grass at the airport.  After a few years of seeing it rot there, I queried the controller why it was still parked and what it was doing there.  He replied, “Oh they’re going to build a museum around it.”  Well, I’ll be, they sure enough did build the Air and Space Museum ‘Annex’ out at Dulles and that Blackbird is inside right next to the WWII P61 Black Widow that my father flew in during the war.  If you haven’t been…..you should go.   Mark
