[QUOTE="kilted1, post: 69339, member: 540"] While I was at RAF Alconbury, I had opportunities to see the SR-71 shoot 'missed approaches' and 'touch 'n goes' fairly frequently. The SR-71 and the RAF Vulcan bomber, were the ONLY airplanes that would make anyone standing outside stop whatever they were doing and watch. When the SR-71 was clear of the runway, it would often 'max climb' out of the airspace, and you had to look quickly because when it lit afterburners, it was gone in seconds ... even on a rare clear day in England. It STILL is without equal in terms of mission and performance ... a truly AWESOME bird!
