They had an SR-71 at the Oshkosh airshow back in 1989 or 90 and I have to say that seeing it take off in full burner is an experience that i remember to this day! The ground shook.

Never got to see one fly, really wish I had, just saw them on static display and then in museums.

When I was on Kadena Air Base , in Okinawa, from 1980-1984, there were (I think) at least 3 SR-71's stationed there. And man, when those things took off, the whole base could hear it (and out housing was miles away from the airstrip).
The Okinawans called them Habu based on a local, VERY venomous, snake. The name stuck, and you would hear the military calling them Habu as well. |
