[nhoel1000]

[nakazatoGTR]

@nhoel1000 effin racists. youtube is just so kind to your kind of bastard. note: blacks have become more racist than any other kind of people.

[Wild66Cat]

I was stationed there when the SR-71 made an emergency landing. It closed down the entire flightline. I still get chills when I think about it.

[Spartan890]

if it get s to maximum cruising speed the pilots die

[OsanBlackCat5RS]

he must have been either on his way too or from a classic South east asia Blackshield route. Philippines are directly on that route.

[ampinoy13]

If I remember right, Rusty Barfield got to Clark in 1989. I worked with him at FEN until August 1990.

[basiljun808]

so proud as a pinoy ,that my country felt a touch from a legendary blackbird....

[araullo]

@basiljun808 meaning they've been using us to spy on the chinese they should pay us by giving us nuclear weapons screw ASEAN!

[thebes56]

Saw these at Kadena when I first got there. Then they retired them.

[DonBringer]

THE FASTEST AIRCRAFT ARE PLANES WITH JET ENGINES. THE WORLD RECORD WAS SET BACK IN 1976, WHEN THE USA'S SR-71A REACHED AN AMAZING 3530 KILOMETERS AN HOUR! IT WAS NICKNAMED Blackbird.

[mitsubishidiamante]

ive seen that plane flyin around in

Clark AFB back in late 80's

[pongskiman69]

i use to sell fireworks in front of the 2nd gate and i sell the whistle bombs on the side and 1 of the airmen snitch on me then the mp's confiscated all my fireworks. but it's a memory i miss clark i miss ragman lol

[jogigutierrez]

Hey! this is classified stuff aint it!?.. by the looks of it and the makes of vehicles it was in the early 80s!!..

[flybynightvideo]

There's a website that lists a diversion of an SR-71 into Clark on 27 Nov 1978, departing 29 Nov 1978. Not sure if this is it though. Maybe if someone knows the makes & models on those cars we can see if it jives with the date.

[fhayechub]

My parents worked at Clark for 1961st Communications Group from 1966 till 1991. Very nice base back in the days, I wish it was still open. I remember I used to climb up on the roof of our house in Angeles City to watch the US planes fly over.

[dawndarkangel]

what a nice base....hope they could put up new bases in the philippines because of the threat against china...it could overthrow the power of US militarily ,as what ive seen on the map one of the best strategic location is philippines in asia pacific.

[Stridus7]

@dawndarkangel true, placing a base in northern Luzon would be a perfect strategy location for defending Taiwan for possible invasion from China.

away from volcano's of course.

[flash348]

I always see the model version in Lackland AFB :)

[pongskiman69]

thats the one that made a sonic boom while i wasplying basketball at timog park

[chardnj]

I used to watch Rusty on the news every night or early in the morning..back home..we have a UFC antena..heheh

[boogernights]

Ahh, the days of F.E.N. The only way to watch the NBA, NFL live in Luzon Island back in the 80s

[Wild66Cat]

@boogernights Hey, don't forget The Simpsons! I remember being at Clark when that show first came out.

[Clubhouse729]

[Erik0219]

Uh..huh!

id doesn't look like todays Clark Airbase but it is

[Clubhouse729]

WoW!!

[jinsok1011]

It was Clark back in 1970s and 80s

before Mt.Pinatubo Erupted.

[jinsok1011]

Yep.. back in 1970s or 80s

[liscano13]

yes my uncle was a F100 super sabre civilian mechanic at Clark Philippines he said whenever the SR71 comes to the base no one comes in and out the gates. damn i missed it i was born in nevada lol

[gwapi2]

@Clubhouse729 i dont think so. if it was. it was way back in the day when it was still held by the US airforce

[e0o9kii]

@Clubhouse729 Yes.

[krourk79]

I was a dog handler at Clark 87-89. SR-71 made an emergency landing and we were told to go out and prevent pictures, some were pulling the film (remember film) out of peoples cameras. Obviously the Armed Forces Network didn't get the order. :)

[flybynightvideo]

Looks to be around 1985-89.

[PIEVAC]

@flybynightvideo The SR was at Clark in 1990 Ibelieve

[bentok123459]

SR-71 has never been shot down.

[henrylakad]

very clean place.

[brent07]

Record holder of fastest Recon jet ever built

[ppm1n]

probably the fastest jet of it's era and officially the fastest jet ever. Maybe Aurora is faster if it's even been built.

[mekandarobo]

that was a huge jet we`ve ever seen!

[ingram1225]

one of the best birds ever

[ericdani]
