Flying the SR-71 Blackbird takes readers along on an operational mission that only a few Air Force pilots have ever experienced. The Lockheed SR-71, unofficially known as the Blackbird, was an advanced, long-range, Mach 3 strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed by Lockheed Skunk Works. The aircraft flew so fast and high that not one was ever shot down. SR-71 pilot and instructor Colonel Richard Graham offers a rare cockpit perspective on what an SR-71 mission entails, from donning a pressure suit to returning to base.
