This would be awesome to go to

Their panel discussion includes all kinds of people from the SR-71 community.

Wow...that would be neat to hear their stories and tour the airplane with them.

Though your BITOG name implies it, I still must recommend Brian Shul's book, "Sled Driver". The first hand cockpit experience is well worth reading.

I might have to go check that out.

Wrong side of the country for me, but I would LOVE to go...

Right side of the country for me, Riverside is about 40-45 miles from my home. I may go there next Saturday.

Thanks. I'll look it up. I still have a VHS aviation video of the SR-71. It's pretty good. They go through quite a bit of the pre-flight details, mission planning, multiple tanker logistics, etc. Lots to go through before wheels up. I'm definitely jealous of you guys who've flown military jet aircraft...and the astronauts. What a ride! I'm curious what the current black hardware is. Probably unmanned....
