[QUOTE="RonA3597, post: 69309, member: 227"] I saw an SR-71 at EAA Oshkosh a number of years back. When it taxied to the ramp there wre a number of airmen putting out some kind of towels to blot up all the dripping fuel. Somewher I read that it was built so loose to allow for expansion due to heat at speed. They only loaded enough fuel to get it airborne and rendezvous with a tanker. Then they would fill it and head out on the mission. The "Skunk Works" really turned out some fine aircraft. [/QUOTE]
