    I can imagine seeing such a craft landing being trump voters are very confused about how they have so many smarter people living among them.

    This is some really amazing footage, man; thanks for recording this, thanks for holding onto it so long, and thanks for stabilizing it. A++ -- 11 years on this is still worth watching!

    It looks like it lands quite hard, to me. Was that a typical landing? No tidy little flare out juat before touchdown. I'm no expert. Welcome any views. Cheers.

    To understand how bad as s the United States is and why so many envy (hate) us , just watch this video. This was over 30 years ago. The plane was obsolete. In spite of this, no other country on earth has been able to duplicate this. The United States rules the f ck ng world.

    There is a group that does speaker programs and have had SR-71 pilots as speakers. Maury Rosenberg told the story of how they did a fly-by at Sac-Metro one day. One of those great SR-71 stories. Brian Schul (sorry, may have spelling wrong) had a story about SR-71 ground speed. A great story as well. I need to make the trip to Dayton. As a kid, I remember B-58s supersonic overhead.

    I worked with a guy said he was there that day when he was a kid. He said where they were the coms were piped through the PA system so they could hear. He said they heard "wheels up" as the plane took off in California. 30 minutes later it was flying over Dayton.

    One of the best inventions of the United States military. This aircraft is truly fantastically awesome. The aircraft that outran and outclimbed many fighter jets and missiles during its service. Can't wait for the SR-72 to be completed. Lockheed Martin said it's gonna fly twice as fast, nearly mach 7, and a much higher altitude, and I think more stealthier as well. I wish I can see the plane in real life.

    It looked like a couple low flybys for the audience, but I wonder if they actually had an aborted landing. They had the wheels lowered and then pulled out of it, and when they did finally land they had the emergency vehicles out on the runway with them.

    I wish I'd have been old enough to see this marvelous aircraft fly. It holds a special place in my heart for many reasons, but more importantly it's a work of engineering art.
