But if the verrrry detailed story of the most amazing‘airplane’ ever built fascinates you, this is your book. I’ve read a lot about skunkworks etc. This book literally teaches you how to fly the SR71. Every detail of how it works and then well, literally the checklist to take off, keep it at 80k feet, refuel, and get it back on the ground. The pilot culture. Once I realized how detailed it was, which was unexpected, I was along for the ride. Spoiler – fuel leaks featured on Discovery channel are bs. Amazing book you’ve got to give a patient listen. Those pilots are unrecognized hero astronauts.
Also great perfect narration that tops it off.
