Why married pilots? One reason is emotional stability. Single men are greater risk takers. The main reason: pilots wouldn't land it in Russia and allow the Russians to grab the technology. Married men were not likely to leave behind wives and children. The Russians used this tactic also to prevent defections. In reality it was so difficult to build even duplicating it would take many yrs.
I guess these guys can claim the Superman title, they DO travel faster than a speeding bullet! Amazing stuff. Imagine the guts it takes to fly the experimental flights, while it's still being developed.
I love the irony of the titanium's source...Communist Russia sells the titanium, and the capitalist Dark Forces turn around and use it to pull Ivan's pants down in front of the world. I freaking love this plane...been my favorite since I was 10....which was a while ago.
Awesome, I remember reading that the nose of the plane needs to be tapped back into shape after landing because of the heat, 'like ironing a shirt' the ground crew used to say.
@1BADAZZ350Z I remember seeing a video about the SR71, where a pilot said that a missile was fired at them and they simply outran it, but I can't find it anywhere so I can show my kids
@thesandonbar ..early 1986, under Art.51 of the UN Charter,USAF F-111 A/C flying" Operation Eldorado Canyon" completed strikes against Libyan Targets, flying post-strike reconn sorties, Major Brian Shul in a SR-71 had numerous SAM's launched against his A/C over Libya, Shul's "evasive excel maneuver" registered Mach 3.50,possibility the fastest ever recorded speed for a SR-71...THX
The SR-71 is a masterpiece of aviation. Even today, it remains the most incredible aircraft ever built. Not to mention all the records that it still holds.
@drewrao8 They might be faster, but the Blackbird was the first. And think of ramjets and scramjets today; they are a lot faster, but they are atmosphere skippers. Though the blackbird may not be the fastest, it is still FAST, and actually saw service. And holds multiple records that, decades later, have yet to be broken.
@SkEtChSkEtCh9384 Ram Jets and Scram Jets are not manned aircraft. The SR-71 Blackbird is the fastest manned Jet in the world.I am just so happy that the Airforce brought it back since of last year The Habu is back and im fricken happy because its about time.
@SkEtChSkEtCh9384 ..Somehow an unmanned drone flying at hypersonic speeds for 90 seconds, isn't near as exciting as watching an SR-71 take off...things loss in time..THX.
Since none of you here know my true identity, I can can without hesitation that I was an Air Force brat growing up. Now that being said, my father was one of the chosen few to fly this magnificent bird. It was truly mind blowing to be a 12 year old standing in it's ominous presence. My dad was my hero (and to many unknown people)...si vis pacem, para bellum
@mrevolutionist I'm not sure which mission but when it's in the air your guy changes positions in the plane to use the radar/uav to navigate your team past the large enemy groups!
@Davechop54 ..Watching the Habu touch down, the A/C truly does take on the appearance of a hooded corba, a good example of this see vid @ 2:29, then you'll understand the name Habu, which is a black colored corba that lives on Okinawa...THX
I looked around on the internet and it appears this is a clip from a discovery channel documentary called Spyplanes that aired in the mid 90s. There was also some discussion at that time about the 'being married' requirement, but I couldn't find any definitive answer.
@juandenz2008 ..In Spyplanes, the writer Steven Hoggard along with the remarks made by Stuart Brown were about the policies of the CIA and the men who flew the U-2 DragonLady A/C during the late 1950's and early 60's, aircrews flying the SR-71 had no marriage requirements..but the average Habu had 1500 hours combat flying time and held the rank of USAF Captain..before starting the one year SR-71 training program...THX
@juan.. "..some discussion at that time about the 'being married' requirement" That's what I thought I had heard the narator state. He also seemed to state that a pilot had to be male to fly it. I thought I may have misheard, played it back several times to confirm. There must be some psychological reason. It's the same for motor insurance. Your premium is less if you're married not single and at one time also if you were female. Should be based on merit. It's bad discrimination!
I found a hot place -- Tal l “HUB”.c om -- where many tall people like sports and chatting there. I'm an open minded girl from US, I also like discuss fashion and love with tall guys on it!468698-009-
Soviet antiaircraft missile complex S-200 aka SA-5 Gammon was designed in late 60th in order to fight this outstanding aircraft. This plane was one of the reasons why soviets created such a powerful long-range and high-altitude antiaircraft system.
@Lupef1asco1 my only guess would be so that they feel like they have something to lose and might want to take more precaution when flying...then again we might have misheard because it does seem like a silly requirement.
@xxxCHASEyourDREAMxxx The hyper sonic DARPA Falcon aircraft is designed to fly at mach 17, if my memory is correct. Following projects are expected to reach Mach 20. Overall, I suspect that the number and quality of space satellite systems and the small stealthy drones fielded by the United States have made the spy-plane all but obsolete.
So let me get this straight. We bought the materials to make this plane from the Soviet Union. Then we use the same plane to effectively turn Soviet Airspace into the SR-71's playground. Is that not a cold war slap in the face?
Do your research (read the book "Skunk Works" by Ben Rich). The U-2 and the SR-71 were both flying during the cold war. The SR-71 was conceived as a successor to the U-2 because we knew the U-2 would become obsolete in terms of avoiding Soviet defense weaponry. By flying higher and faster, the SR-71 had much less of a chance of creating an international incident because it was basically impossible to track and shoot down, unlike the U-2. The SR-71 could out run missiles.
@MajorLiteral Dude seriously? The Sr-71 was flying in the 60s..... And the cold war ended in the late 80s.....So by process of intelligent thought we arrive at the conclusion that yes, it was used in the Cold War.
Had we not been able to buy the titanium from the USSR, then the plane probably never would've been built. They were basically the world's largest supplier of titanium. Our hands were tied. As you probably already know, the plane helped us spy on lots of other countries/situations, too.
Anyone know why a "tooth ache" can lead to a blackout as claimed in this video? Also, what is the fundamental requirement for pilot qualification? It sounds to me like the narrator says "married" which makes no sense.
They're at extreme altitude (85,000 ft), where the prevailing conditions are already inhumane because of air pressure, temperature variations, lack of oxygen, etc. Mountain climbers will tell you that a tooth ache could kill your near the summit of K-2 or Mt. Everest (only 29,000 ft) just because it's more difficult for your body to function and stay conscious in those conditions. Survival at such altitudes depends on your ability to react and withstand whatever stresses arise.
@LINKROCKZYOU not much. If you shoot towards the front and you're traveling at mach3, the bullet will travel mach4 (relative to the ground) or away from you at mach1 (relative to you). If you shoot it backwards bullet will travel towards you at mach2 (relative to the ground) but since you will be traveling at mach 3, you will be loosing the bullet at mach1.
@4185562 there was a version called the A-12 that version could launch long range missiles but it never went into full production the US wanted it as a recon jet and not a fighter.
@pkownz3 im not familiar with the speed record of each plane, i just assumed that the sr71 can outrun these 2 modern planes despite it's age because i really like it. so are you telling me dude that my assumption is true? i love this plane...
One of my all time fav aircraft. I used to love watching this aircraft take off in person while I was stationed at Kadena AFB, Japan. Night take offs were especially cool because of the those iglowing white hot afterburners. xD

@IronJackalTw Stop hating yourself and just accept reality bro. This is the PROPER way to do business as it obviously worked very well. Gain peace from the knowledge of it, and do away with your home tendencies... ;o))
They have to do a lots of prep & tests before takeoff. Imagine if your car had a constant gas leak. Not only that, imagine if you drove it at about its max speed for about 90% of your drive. You'd still run out of gas pretty quickly, even if you filled it up right before you left the driveway. The tanks of the SR-71 couldn't seal themselves until it reached really high speeds during its missions. Plus, it was designed to travel 3000 miles round trip on one tank of gas.
@whitearticfoxhound what does retarded mean and stop the non sense words (the bad ones) I wish it wasn't used before the nodies( year 2000 - 2010) it just gets people angry.
dude i have a fuckin huffy that goes way faster. i did the math and by my calculations it goes twice the speed of light. the necessary fuel for proper combustion is unicorn piss. i cant seen the find any...yet
AirCrews who flew the SR-71, being married was'nt a requirement,however the CIA did like married men on their payroll, who flew the U-2 and A-12 A/C, reason being that being married would allow for a much deeped background security check,not only of the airman but also his bride's complete family background..the original vid was in 3 parts, during editing Brown's comments were about the U-2 flight crews, not the Sr-71..this vid is very misleading....
@pipercub123456 Love it the CIA tricked the USSR for you younger folks that was Communist Russia. To buy parts for the plane, I never knew that...Brilliant!!
"Stability. A married man makes responsible decisions better than a single man, because he has much more to lose, and must factor in the well-being of others. His thought process is stable and predictable.
Losing a SR-71, especially to hostlie nations was just not an option."
"If a surface-to-air missile launch were detected, standard evasive action was simply to accelerate." This has got to be one of the best things I have ever heard.
Cruising at Mach 3.2 for 90 minutes is unreal imagine if the rebuilt those motors today with modern turbine tech it could cruise at mach 3.35 without having to worry about the temperature.
I remember watching a documentary about the SR-71 where they were interviewing Russian pilots who encountered it back in the 60's & 70's and they were absolutely flabergasted by how fast & high it could go. They tried to intercept it several times over the decades but could not even get close to it. Also, one of their pilots was stunned that a nation like the U.S. (whom he had thought was soft due to the Russian propaganda) could even design such a plane.
Why married pilots? One reason is emotional stability. Single men are greater risk takers. The main reason: pilots wouldn't land it in Russia and allow the Russians to grab the technology. Married men were not likely to leave behind wives and children. The Russians used this tactic also to prevent defections. In reality it was so difficult to build even duplicating it would take many yrs.

@Budisgud69 You do the math, it is going at about 3500 feet per second but I don't know how long the planet is, again do the math yourself.

@joeyjoeyjoeyjoey101
They have to do a lots of prep & tests before takeoff. Imagine if your car had a constant gas leak. Not only that, imagine if you drove it at about its max speed for about 90% of your drive. You'd still run out of gas pretty quickly, even if you filled it up right before you left the driveway. The tanks of the SR-71 couldn't seal themselves until it reached really high speeds during its missions. Plus, it was designed to travel 3000 miles round trip on one tank of gas.

its odd to me that the mig 25 which goes almost as fast didn't have the fuel issues, and the mig has the ability to launch missiles

@assman12354 problem was the Sr-72 was already long gone by the time the Mig-25's got up there.

Married to the aircraft... or... yeah I agree what does marriage have to do with a flight requirement?
krgrubbs 3 months ago
AirCrews who flew the SR-71, being married was'nt a requirement,however the CIA did like married men on their payroll, who flew the U-2 and A-12 A/C, reason being that being married would allow for a much deeped background security check,not only of the airman but also his bride's complete family background..the original vid was in 3 parts, during editing Brown's comments were about the U-2 flight crews, not the Sr-71..this vid is very misleading....

"Stability. A married man makes responsible decisions better than a single man, because he has much more to lose, and must factor in the well-being of others. His thought process is stable and predictable.
Losing a SR-71, especially to hostlie nations was just not an option."

Cruising at Mach 3.2 for 90 minutes is unreal imagine if the rebuilt those motors today with modern turbine tech it could cruise at mach 3.35 without having to worry about the temperature.

I remember watching a documentary about the SR-71 where they were interviewing Russian pilots who encountered it back in the 60's & 70's and they were absolutely flabergasted by how fast & high it could go. They tried to intercept it several times over the decades but could not even get close to it. Also, one of their pilots was stunned that a nation like the U.S. (whom he had thought was soft due to the Russian propaganda) could even design such a plane.
