do you think the SR-71 is sexy?
here's the manual
my favorite bit so far is on page 1-11 - if it's not leaking before flight, worry. (combustion chamber drain valve)

That is so sweet, I had to laugh.

Yeah, I've heard that voice many a time, very comforting actually. Does make you feel special.

Heheh. I'm psyched to see the manual. I'll dig through that later. (Airplane Dooooooooooooooooooork.)

I've read that story before, and I think even my dad told me a version of it (he's Air Force). It makes me laugh out loud every time. :)
