Al,
Great story, gives the rest of us a glimpse into what the SR-71 is all about. My next door neighbor, a WWII pilot and later a pioneer in composite materials, was very involved in the design and fabrication of the vertical stabilizers. As noted in your comments, there was a lot of engineering and innovation that went into that remarkable aircraft. I got my first real close up look at one while visiting the Pima Air & Space Museum, what an amazing looking machine.
Regards,
Tim B.
