About this listen

Higher, farther, faster - what every real aviator aspires to. The SR-71 was the epitome of this dream for three decades. The only way to beat the SR-71 was to rocket into space, and every astronaut in the office with me in the 1960s would have loved to have flown the Blackbird. In many ways it placed greater demand on piloting proficiency than any spacecraft. Terry's book answers all those questions you ever had about the wonderful challenge of controlling an airplane, flying at 80,000 feet and more than three times the speed of sound for hours at a time.

Questions Answered

Hi everyone, I took a 2 hour drive to Parry Sound. On the way up and down , I played this audio book. I was lost in imagination, on flying this plane. These crews were daring and knowledgeable on all the training and sim time they received. Great questions and the answers from a ex pilot truly leave us civilians astonished on the physical demands, they go through. A must read for aviation enthusiasts!.

Great insight into an amazing aircraft

I found this to be a very informative book about an amazing aircraft that I first saw at the age of 13. I went to the Abbotsford international air show in 1986, and saw the SR-71 on the ground that day. I was amazed at the shape size and in awe of the aircraft and the information they had at the air show about it. The next day at the world EXPO in Vancouver, I suddenly heard a large roar in the distance and looked up and saw this amazing aircraft fly over the EXPO grounds on its way back to its base in the US. As it started climbing away the pilot lit up the afterburners and it took off like a bullet. From that day forward I was a huge fan of the SR-71 Blackbird.
