Truly one of the most inspiring scenes in 80s cinema... Who cares if it isn't factually accurate. How many young people fell in love with this plane because of this scene?? I did...
I remember watching the X-men with someone and having them flip out on how badass the jet was in the movie...thinking that it was a Marvel creation. They couldn't believe when I showed them the SR-71 and also when it was designed..
@@Ami-vh7sr so yeah somehow this kid managed to fuel, start, pull his own chocks and arranged for a refueling tanker right after takeoff. Yet another problem of the SR-71 was it tended to leak very badly till it heated up. This was due to the loose tolerances required to fly at Mach 3. All that heat tended to expand things which stopped the leaking but not until it started to heat up. The SR-71 would leak copious amounts of JP-7 so badly that they usually required a fill up off of a KC-135Q shortly after takeoff
When I was in the Air Force, I worked with a guy who was a few chief for Blackbirds in California. He said they would have 2 tankers in primary pattern, 2 in a secondary and 2 on the ground just make sure it got fueled.
@@McPh1741 Not a shock due to thermal expansion built into the jet they tended to drip quite a bit of fuel. The tanks I’m told didn’t really seal till the plane got airborne and started to heat up. Once it got to temperature the wings expanded and the tanks quit dripping. If you look at the wings you can see they have expansion joints built into it by way of the corrugated looking panels. Those tankers were special too they were exclusively for the use of SR-71s as the KC-135Q carried JP-7 exclusively. JP-7 was a special blend of fuel only the SR used and you couldn’t mix it with other jet fuel or it would do bad things to a blackbird
Sexiest airplane EVER! SR-71 and A-10 are my most favorite airplanes. SR-71 because it was most beautiful, A-10 because it is most badass. That GAU-8 tank plinker does it for me.
For years I couldn't remember this movie. The only thing I could recall was a boy flying a blackbird. Apparently that was enough for Google to point me to the right direction. All the memories started flooding back to me as soon as I saw the movie poster. Loved this movie as a kid back in the 80's. Glad I found it again. I think it says something that the only thing that I could remember was this scene.
It is, always has been, and always will be one of the most beautiful craft ever built. Perfect lines and shape to spark the imagination of anyone who looks at her. When I saw the proposed designs for its successor, the SR-72... I damn near threw up. Then I had to take a step back and realize,... NOTHING new they ever design could possibly compare to the original Blackbird.
I remember when I first tried to fly a Warthog in DCS... and was like “where does the key go”. Nowadays I get in my new car and think the same thing. Just imagine if Henry Ford got brought to the future and was asked to drive a new Mustang. His first comment would probably be, “WHY ISN’T THIS CAR BLACK?”
Everyone keeps commenting on how it's impossible for him to breathe in the plane, or get it started by himself. This is all true. However, what I found the most humorous, is the SR-71 Blackbird, America's most secret spyplane, is just sitting there with no security guards, all fueled up and ready to go. LOL This movie is great!. LOL :o)
The SR-71 needed an immediate fuel fill-up as soon as it was airborne .Because the fuel tank used to leak,unless it was in the air and heated up.So blackbird was always at low fuel at ground.
One of the best scenes in the movie. Worth buying if it is on DVD or BLUERAY nowdays. For a kid s movie that one was outstanding Fun Fact in THE NEVER ENDING STORY Barret Oliver had played Bastian Balthazar Bux There were also other Michael Ende books turned into movies like Momo and Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver.
+BIG AL ONE Yeah. No Chevy engines reeving them up, either. And magically didn't have to refuel right after takeoff. He is a robot, though, so maybe he could get away with not having a pressure suit.
Oh Iron Eagle? Classic, where a stroppy brat wanders into an ops room on a military base demanding to know when they’re going to go in and kick ass and rescue his dad. It makes Team America feel restrained.
but out of the three... only WarGames proven to be more success and appreciated, its story were clear and realistic, the protagonist is not some invincible or very knowledgeable, he just an average hacker who happens to be messing with the NORAD WOPR, he tries to run but getting catch by the government, he tries to solve the problem but he can't do it all by himself so he met the creator of the program, look what I try to say is, the conlifct in the movie is well crafted, it's not guns blazing like Iron Eagle, nor all I can be like Daryl and still managed to entertain the general audiences
Until they unveil what's in the air right now....this will be my favorite plane off all time...this plane was build in the 60s for gods sake and it was a untouchable...
yeah, terrible..... most of them weren´t even a wet spot in Daddys Tissue in the Bathroom when this Movie was made. I was 15 then and didn´t know the Facts about the Plane.
Interesting fact about the SR-71 - it can't take off on a full tank of gas. It's too heavy. You have to take off with very little fuel, then refuel in the air, then be sure to land when the fuel's almost empty again.
Jim Snow I don't know what kid told you that, but that's not factual. Engines are not easy to start/restart on the SR. They are not just "cut" as you say. Also, stall and V speeds are not that dissimilar between an aerial refueling tanker and the SR. It did NOT fly sideways (nor would it) when powering only one engine... And NEVER did that to refuel. Tankers and the SR can cruise very comfortably at 200 or even 500 knots together (though speeds while fueling inflight are always regulated). Inflight, a reheat requires a TEB (she only carries about 16 of em), so they are not waisted. On the ground, starting consists of two portable V8 gas engines spooling the core up to about 1000rpm. The SR cannot start her own engines.
No kid told me that...I found that out while I was going to school to get my Aviation Maintenance Certification some years ago. Look it up, it's documented.
Joseph Smith Also, I didnt say that it flew "sideways"...I said crooked, it's called sideslipping and, all planes can do it. The SR71 has the same flight envelope as the P51 Mustang meaning it has a Vne speed of 450 kts IAS. The portable gpu's are V8 gas engines.... dual chevy 454's to be exact and were built by a racecar builder in S. Calif., I've also had the opurtunity to inspect one of the gpu's in person....they would actually spool the engines over 3,000 rpm for starting but the J58's that powered the SR71 were very much like any jet fighter engine at the time except for extra piping and the intake spike that would come into use above supersonic speeds. When a jet is in the air flying with the engine cut off, it is still spinning from the air pressure and are actually quit easy to start...just add fuel and spark. I didnt comment to get into a debate with anyone, just love this fascinating aircraft and enjoy spreading info about it as well.
This is the military’s ultra-secret Blackbird 2, which can do a lot more than the original Blackbird ever could. Word has it you’re looking at one of the real planes, used as part of the social engineering phase of this project.
I love how commenters are up in arms about the movie not using an accurate start procedure but seem to be perfectly fine with the notion of a kid with a robot brain.
Do wish everyone would chill out a little more. It's a kids film meant to inspire and to be a fun escape from reality. A lot of people are way too up tight these days.
One thing I always wondered, is how the kid got the engines going without start carts. The J-58s required external shaft power from a Buick V-8 engine to spin them up to 3200 RPM before a shot of TEB (triethylborane) was sprayed in to ignite them. My grandfather, Victor Horton, flew both the SR-71 and it's prototype interceptor variant, the YF-12A, for many years out of Edwards for NASA.
Not only that but he managed to avoid the SR’s well known propensity for “ un starts” which was from what I read a somewhat common occurrence on the J-58 turbo- ramjet. A somewhat more realistic idea would have been for him to get loose on a SAC base and maybe manage to get an FB-111 going on the ready line
@@matthewcaughey8898 oh, yeah! Unstarts (aka compressor stalls) are rough! On one of Grandpa's Blackbird flights, the sudden yaw from an unstart caused him to slam his head into the canopy so hard, it actually cracked his pressure suit helmet.
This plane was a mock up While the sr71 existence was well known... How it "operated" was still closely guarded. For instance it takes a whole full ground crew just to start it. All the "real" images were provided by airforce media relations people. The rest is just great editing.
Jordan Spieth I love this movie. The closest thing to a remake of this was the movie "AI" "Artificial Intelligence" which I really didn't care for all that much. Personally I think today's Hollywood lacks the substance to do a remake of Daryl with any kind of justice. What makes Daryl great is that it has so many of the elements that are missing from today's movies, Movies don't seem to have much heart and soul anymore. It's like they all come out of the same CGI bubble gum machine. As such very little stands out as being all that unique anymore. Just my personal oppinion. I suppose I could see a remake of this being good if it was done by the right people and focused more on realism, human emotions, and character development rather then on all the fluff.
Thanks for the upload 👍. But next time, be careful to put "SR-71" and/or "Blackbird" in the title. That got all SR-71 geeks out of the woodwork complaining of wrong procedure to get it flying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 They are like "Naaah, all other stuff in the movie is believable, but not the fuel issue and starting procedure of my beloved SR-71 so I must tap my keyboard and tell the world!"
Indeed, many comments seem to be quite cynical and nit picky over the accuracy of a kids film from over 36 years ago. Part of the point in going to the movies is an escape from reality once in a while. This kind of movie is meant to inspire kids. Today "The Nothing" has grown quite strong it seems.
Looking back on this movie I shake my head at it. 1) it leaks fuel till it reaches cruising altitude. 2) needs to refuel shortly after take off because of number 1. 3) has posted guards around sr-71 at 5 ft intervals. 4) hangar doors when secured aren't left wide open. 5) it is also covered by a tarp. I'm sure there is more but this is what I was told by my father USAF honorably discharged. He got to see one once pretty close back in the late 70s.
I'm all for suspending my disbelief, however The SR 71 was notorius for the fact that it leaked fuel on the ground like a sieve, it tightened up when in the air. so they only fueled it just before take off.
Why this moive never got sequel. It just ends with him coming back to life cause his brain is a computer. He gets reunited with his foster family. Yeh he a talented robot he pick up anything quickly but how he would adapt to life in the outside world. I mean would the army still pursue him to destroy him or do they think he blew up in the plane. Though i wonder what did that doc do to him in the er to bring him back reboot the brain did she erase his memories of living in a lab so he be a normal kid.
Pratt & Whitney, not GE. And yeah, it's pretty close to real, but no external starters, just the TEB kick and the takeoff sequence were accurate enough. No embellishment needed for the afterburner shockwaves tho.
As a kid I thought this was possible, now we all know the SR71 has to refuel minutes after Take off or it will fall out the sky as it runs out fuel because it is never fueled up on the ground because it leaks till it hits mach 3 and the air friction seals all the seams.
It's just a film guys 😂 if you can suspend disbelief that he's a sentiment robot who can convincingly pass as a human child, you can overlook how he started the plane, flew with no fuel etc 🙂
was always an interesting scene, but the plane itself cannot hold fuel while on the ground, so the tanks would have been empty. They actually leak on the ground because the heat and pressure generated during flight make them expand. They always took off with a bare minimum amount of fuel and refueled in the air.
So many things wrong with this scene. You can’t start the plane without 8 Chevy engines. The canopy only closes if someone from the outside closes it manually. Why would they have no guards on the most secretive plane on base? And the plane leaks fuel so there would be barely any in the tank at the start until they refueled it. Also he would be using an astronaut pressurized suit to pilot the plane due to extreme temperatures in the up atmosphere.
Well, I don't think D.A.R.Y.L is meant to be watched as a documentary??? This clip seems to have drawn all SR-71 geeks to it like flies to sugar, IT IS A FICTIONAL MOVIE 🤣🤣🤣
He's programmed to learn and does not have that kind of preset information built in and so is learning and developing much like a normal child. At 10 I didn't know what a hooker was either. Unlike today I'm glad I grew up during a time and place that still allowed me to retain some childhood innocence.
Ahhh yes, 1985, peak "computers and robots everywhere" in the 1980's. DARYL, Transformers, OmniBot's, Commodore 64's at Toys'R'Us, Arcades, Knight Rider, Airwolf, Digital Dashboards (the door is a jar), Introduction of the Commodore Amiga, Computer Chronicles on PBS, Apple 2e's and Logo at school. In a few years we'd all have AI powered personal robots, etc.. Does DARYL make any sense as a movie? Hell no. Did my 1985, 10 year old self care? Hell no. Would an SR-71, which requires a specialized flight-suit, post-takeoff mid-air refueling, etc., just be sitting on the ground ready for taxi? LOLWUT NO! Then again, would DARPA/DOD fund a project that involves creating a 10yo child robot as part of studying the creation of a super--soldier?! Yeah, again, that's redonkulous, even for DARPA/DOD, which does fund some strange stuff. It's an incredibly stupid movie viewed from the perspective of an adult. But, from the vantage-point of a tech obsessed kid growing up in the first pervasively computerized decade, it was awesome.
Exactly. It started ever since I put this video up. Every other person who comments seems to have to go into the technical impossibilities and complain or mock it. They clearly fail to understand that it's just a kid's movie meant to inspire and offer some nostalgic value to those of us who grew up with it.
Coming soon. D.A.R.Y.L. remake. Cloak and Dagger remake. Flight of the Navigator remake. Goonies remake. The Last Starfighter remake. Enemy Mine remake. Weird Science remake. Short Circuit remake (That one's really supposed to happen but is in dev hell.) Better off Dead remake. Adventures in Babysitting remake.. (Goes on for another 6 hours about all the films Hollywood is going to remake..)
Because none of the drooling idiots in Hollywood has even ONE original idea. Yet they think they know how this country should be run. What sheer stupidity. Why anyone listens to them, oh wait. We are talking about mainstream media here, the only group with a lower IQ than actors.

@@novackh2864 Yup, I'm amazed at how many comments are focusing on fuel inconsistency. It's like "yeah, apart from that, everything is very believable!" 😂
Truly one of the most inspiring scenes in 80s cinema... Who cares if it isn't factually accurate. How many young people fell in love with this plane because of this scene?? I did...
As a kid I actually thought you could just fly away with a blackbird like that.
My favorite plane
I fell in love with it because of its history
I remember watching the X-men with someone and having them flip out on how badass the jet was in the movie...thinking that it was a Marvel creation. They couldn't believe when I showed them the SR-71 and also when it was designed..
Best plane in the world Mig21 !!!
This movie is incredibly underrated
Omg yes …
Lil bro just dipped with the X-Men's jet!
0:26 I love that sinister image of the SR-71 accompanied by that intense musical base
GOD folks it as a movie, a good one at that but still just a movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Daryl's such a mechanical marvel that he managed to start the Blackbird without the start cart.
Yeah typically you need the 3 455 GM V8s running to turn the beast over
Not to mention aircraft in a hanger are generally defueled and chocked amongst other things......
@@Ami-vh7sr so yeah somehow this kid managed to fuel, start, pull his own chocks and arranged for a refueling tanker right after takeoff.

All that heat tended to expand things which stopped the leaking but not until it started to heat up.

Also, where did he get the flight helmet and engineer and convert the cabin into a pressurised one, because you need a spacesuit to fly it.
And made it all the way home without refueling after take-off; since these planes were know to have to refuel immediately after take-off
He's gonna need to rendezvous with a tanker bird ASAP after taking off! Good luck finding that hahaha 😆🤣
Exactly what I thought to myself!
The kid: Yikes!!! Mayday I am running out of fuel.
Russians: Hold my beer.
When I was in the Air Force, I worked with a guy who was a few chief for Blackbirds in California. He said they would have 2 tankers in primary pattern, 2 in a secondary and 2 on the ground just make sure it got fueled.

Crazy how the airforce actually let them use the spy plane in the movie. I think it was still in service at that time too
They didnt actually let them use the plane just shots of it... The part where it left the hangar was from Edwards AFB
0:20 D.A.R.Y.L is smart enough to know that the SR-71 Blackbird is the most badass plane in the history of aviation.
Speed
The whole world knows that the SR71 would never be left fueled up because it leaked worse then a colander until it was at height and speed.

One thing I always wondered, is how the kid got the engines going without start carts.

Don't care nerd, kid in plane go nyaom
This is still more believable than beating pole position on 2 wheels

While the sr71 existence was well known...
How it "operated" was still closely guarded.
For instance it takes a whole full ground crew just to start it.

What makes Daryl great is that it has so many of the elements that are missing from today's movies, Movies don't seem to have much heart and soul anymore. It's like they all come out of the same CGI bubble gum machine. As such very little stands out as being all that unique anymore. Just my personal oppinion. I suppose I could see a remake of this being good if it was done by the right people and focused more on realism, human emotions, and character development rather then on all the fluff.
+Mr. Extreme I think that would important too!
Fun fact the sr-71 used in the movie is now located in the Strategeic Air and Space Museum in Ashland Nebraska.
Aww, the scene about the chewing gum + camera was next... 🤣
Yeah, so what if there is no way to even start the plane without a coordinated ground crew, it's still a cool scene for a kid's movie! Habu! Habu!
Thanks for the upload 👍. But next time, be careful to put "SR-71" and/or "Blackbird" in the title. That got all SR-71 geeks out of the woodwork complaining of wrong procedure to get it flying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 They are like "Naaah, all other stuff in the movie is believable, but not the fuel issue and starting procedure of my beloved SR-71 so I must tap my keyboard and tell the world!"
Indeed, many comments seem to be quite cynical and nit picky over the accuracy of a kids film from over 36 years ago. Part of the point in going to the movies is an escape from reality once in a while. This kind of movie is meant to inspire kids. Today "The Nothing" has grown quite strong it seems.
Americans allways just stand there and watch when some one steals their planes.
Basically "inspired" by that scene in "Firefox" where Eastwood steals a Russian super-jet from a hangar on a high security soviet airbase.
Eastwood impersonated the Soviet pilot. The ground crew had already prepped the aircraft for takeoff.
Yeah I'm sure flying a sr71 isn't like driving his daddy's car
that kid is an OG! he got 6 stars and stole an SR71!
Just another day in the strangereal universe
Who is the fool that left the keys in that plane?
BEHOLD the eternal glory of JETFIRE~!
I thought it was great Jetfire was a Blackbird Jet but by golly his robot mode looked horrible!
Looking back on this movie I shake my head at it. 1) it leaks fuel till it reaches cruising altitude. 2) needs to refuel shortly after take off because of number 1. 3) has posted guards around sr-71 at 5 ft intervals. 4) hangar doors when secured aren't left wide open. 5) it is also covered by a tarp. I'm sure there is more but this is what I was told by my father USAF honorably discharged. He got to see one once pretty close back in the late 70s.
Point 2 is inaccurate. I've just watched an hour video from a veteran SR 71a pilot who said it's a myth that's commonly shared. 👍
Don't care nerd, kid in plane go nyaom
I'm all for suspending my disbelief, however The SR 71 was notorius for the fact that it leaked fuel on the ground like a sieve, it tightened up when in the air. so they only fueled it just before take off.
True TO U ... FOREVER This Guy's in Love with You 💝🌿🌻🌷🌹😍
He was a government created Robot, he could’ve flown anything without oxygen lol
Who hooked up his pressure suit????😲😲😲
Imagine Daryl now . Hes probably gonna boost a F-22 raptor now!
Not as fast as the Blackbird but more agile.
Fly it like you stole it:)
Why this moive never got sequel. It just ends with him coming back to life cause his brain is a computer. He gets reunited with his foster family. Yeh he a talented robot he pick up anything quickly but how he would adapt to life in the outside world. I mean would the army still pursue him to destroy him or do they think he blew up in the plane. Though i wonder what did that doc do to him in the er to bring him back reboot the brain did she erase his memories of living in a lab so he be a normal kid.
Sadly the movie flopped at the box office even though I personally really enjoyed it. A sequel would have been fun to see I agree.
nice sound general electric j 58 engine
Pratt & Whitney, not GE. And yeah, it's pretty close to real, but no external starters, just the TEB kick and the takeoff sequence were accurate enough. No embellishment needed for the afterburner shockwaves tho.
As a kid I thought this was possible, now we all know the SR71 has to refuel minutes after Take off or it will fall out the sky as it runs out fuel because it is never fueled up on the ground because it leaks till it hits mach 3 and the air friction seals all the seams.
Don't care nerd, kid in plane go nyaom
It's just a film guys 😂 if you can suspend disbelief that he's a sentiment robot who can convincingly pass as a human child, you can overlook how he started the plane, flew with no fuel etc 🙂
Don't care nerd, kid in plane go nyaom
GOD DAM IT....IF I KNEW IT WAS THAT EASY.....
was always an interesting scene, but the plane itself cannot hold fuel while on the ground, so the tanks would have been empty. They actually leak on the ground because the heat and pressure generated during flight make them expand. They always took off with a bare minimum amount of fuel and refueled in the air.
Did my dude seriously take a ride in the fastest plane ever and not wear an oxygen mask
He's an android child.
You sure do seem to know a lot about it!
Where is his pressure suit?
He's an android.
Genius they wont be able to follow, its stealth
So many things wrong with this scene.
You can’t start the plane without 8 Chevy engines.
The canopy only closes if someone from the outside closes it manually.
Why would they have no guards on the most secretive plane on base?
And the plane leaks fuel so there would be barely any in the tank at the start until they refueled it. Also he would be using an astronaut pressurized suit to pilot the plane due to extreme temperatures in the up atmosphere.
What if you don't fly the thing so high !?
Also he'd be way too short to even look out let alone reach anything LoL
Well, I don't think D.A.R.Y.L is meant to be watched as a documentary??? This clip seems to have drawn all SR-71 geeks to it like flies to sugar, IT IS A FICTIONAL MOVIE 🤣🤣🤣
Just seeing that thing is breathing taking.
From scooby doo vs NukiTYP5 Regular Show 2007 movie
DARRYL:What is a hooker? A highly intelligent robot doesn't know what a hooker is.
He's programmed to learn and does not have that kind of preset information built in and so is learning and developing much like a normal child. At 10 I didn't know what a hooker was either. Unlike today I'm glad I grew up during a time and place that still allowed me to retain some childhood innocence.
Just stand there, guys. Don't try and stop it or shoot it.
Just let a potential Soviet spy take it home.
Be thankful the real KGB wasn't paying attention to this movie.
Well, they could just park the cars in front of the wheels, just saying...........................
Ahhh yes, 1985, peak "computers and robots everywhere" in the 1980's. DARYL, Transformers, OmniBot's, Commodore 64's at Toys'R'Us, Arcades, Knight Rider, Airwolf, Digital Dashboards (the door is a jar), Introduction of the Commodore Amiga, Computer Chronicles on PBS, Apple 2e's and Logo at school. In a few years we'd all have AI powered personal robots, etc.. Does DARYL make any sense as a movie? Hell no. Did my 1985, 10 year old self care? Hell no.
Would an SR-71, which requires a specialized flight-suit, post-takeoff mid-air refueling, etc., just be sitting on the ground ready for taxi? LOLWUT NO! Then again, would DARPA/DOD fund a project that involves creating a 10yo child robot as part of studying the creation of a super--soldier?! Yeah, again, that's redonkulous, even for DARPA/DOD, which does fund some strange stuff. It's an incredibly stupid movie viewed from the perspective of an adult. But, from the vantage-point of a tech obsessed kid growing up in the first pervasively computerized decade, it was awesome.
Jetfire?
Area 51 stormers using this for research lol
It's the only way to fly. 😁
It’s an 80s kid movie ..next you are going to say Flight of the Navigator wasn’t historically accurate either
Exactly. It started ever since I put this video up. Every other person who comments seems to have to go into the technical impossibilities and complain or mock it. They clearly fail to understand that it's just a kid's movie meant to inspire and offer some nostalgic value to those of us who grew up with it.
Coming soon. D.A.R.Y.L. remake. Cloak and Dagger remake. Flight of the Navigator remake. Goonies remake. The Last Starfighter remake. Enemy Mine remake. Weird Science remake. Short Circuit remake (That one's really supposed to happen but is in dev hell.) Better off Dead remake. Adventures in Babysitting remake.. (Goes on for another 6 hours about all the films Hollywood is going to remake..)
They already remade Adventures In Babysitting on The Disney Channel, and it sucked.
Because none of the drooling idiots in Hollywood has even ONE original idea. Yet they think they know how this country should be run. What sheer stupidity. Why anyone listens to them, oh wait. We are talking about mainstream media here, the only group with a lower IQ than actors.
1:13 the faces of a defeated army... "We could try to shoot him and then be responsible to damage a f*****g expensive plane, or just let him roll out and see him go off at speeds and hights no other plane or rocket can match now or in the future (2019 calling in: Nope, still wont catch him without extensively planed "slingshoot-maneuvers")... damnhesgoneallreadywellletscallitaday..."
... because they leave those planes fueled up and ready to fly with nobody in the hanger watching them.
Its a film about a robot that looks like a 10yo boy and you worry about a plane having fuel.
@@novackh2864 Yup, I'm amazed at how many comments are focusing on fuel inconsistency. It's like "yeah, apart from that, everything is very believable!" 😂
“FIREFLY 1, ABORT....ABORT!!!!”
How tf did a child managed to enter a military base and fly a highly classified aircraft?
Funny thing is, there is an entire movie out there that answers this question.
Impossible to take of we dont park a Sr 71 ull tank and no apu to start the engine its a v8 buick to start
Theres my father robert lee arnold sr impressive aint he
Is this real life?
Is this just fantasy?
SR-71 needs special flight suit otherwhise you would suffer badly in taht hight an with that g force. but well a kids movie
Kid is an android.
