• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

O/T SR71 Blackbird

I live near Beale AFB, where the Blackbird used to be stationed. You could always count on one being at the Beale air shows and other local shows. After breaking the sound barrier from high up, it would come down and do a series of close fly-bys. The U-2/TR-1 is still at Beale and I still get a kick when they fly over. And man, I could tell some stories about weird lights flying around here at night (Aurora?).:saturn::satellite:
