[HI Cobra]

Al,

Thanks for sharing some great experiences. I was visiting my Dad who
was a retired Air Force pilot living near Lackland AFB by San Antonio, TX,
in the 1990's and we took the walk around a park where they had numerous
old war birds, many of which he had flown in the day. There was a SR-71
there that they had brought in the prior day. What a sweet airplane - all
business. The book "Skunkworks" is an excellent read of how she was built.
