The rumor is all SR-71 pilots had to be married as there was a less likelihood chance the pilot would deflect to a communist country like Russia since they would be less likely to leave their wife and family. Looks like that rumor has been put to rest in this video.

Ive seen 18/30 of the remaining SR-71 family of planes with this one being second on my Blackbird bucket list only behind the YF-12
This is just amazing to think these planes were designed and first flown in 1963. Great video thanks for sharing.
