SR-71 Cockpit part 2

[TheKungFuProductions]

Such a small space for a large aircraft, claustrophobic would've hated it.

[mob1235]

imagine sitting in this tight flight deck an going over a quarter to space high.

totally crazy and unbelievable

[RandomTorok]

If the pilot became incapacitated could the backseat guy fly the plane?

[00thelastottoman00]

Cockpit is not digital :(( Looks like 50's aircrafts..

[petey815]

@00thelastottoman00 It first flew in the mid sixties.

[Indianmalujl]

@00thelastottoman00 So what if its not digital, it still shits on all the aircraft we have today, this is still the fastest manned aircraft except the space shuttle.

[00thelastottoman00]

@Indianmalujl

If not digital, means human error risks and time losts will increase for pilots...

Today digital cockpits are better than this one.. So no need to check all monitors of cockpit...

[storck08]

you really had to have the right stuff to fly this baby...

[IMaDEM0N]

I can't believe there's video's of the Inside of a cockpit of an SR-71 Blackbird....that was a VERY Secret Air Craft...I believe the capable top speed is still classified...

[mrlordsnooty]

@IMaDEM0N this may sound nuts but i watched a doc and thought it said top speed 300 mph, that cant be right can it ?

[2076649]

@mrlordsnooty if i no wrong its top speed is like 2500 mph or more

[mrlordsnooty]

@2076649 maybe it was 3000 mph then.

[bin801]

I like black bird so much, could you tell me where is this cockpit? is it open to public?

[bin801]

looks like your are shooting from out of the cockpit, is this a simulator?

[ASmackOfJellyfish97]

@Newbpwnage:Shut up,cunt,this was made in the 70's

[ciuventus]

WOW

[krbosak]

Egyptian dashboard design at its best.

[THEEAGLE1231]

i wonder how it would feel like when you eject yourself at 85,000 feet

[sprig3432]

@THEEAGLE1231 i m assuming it wouldnt be fun filled with adrenaline

[dangerjuices]

the eject button is for pussy!

[MSTRKRFT915]

@dangerjuices i would rather be a pussy and eject my self than crashing wit the plane! haha

[LaZeRfLiP91]

arent they up in the stratosphere for hours and hours?..... so wers the bathroom? so they just piss on dem selfs wen its their first flight? LOL

[jakel194]

@LaZeRfLiP91 actually they only have enouth fuel for about an hour and 50 min

[Jhgfbyjhj]

@jakel194 Actually you are an asshole. Time depends on many variables, the biggest being WIND SPEED and DIRECTION.

[inagod]

they use to be very secretive about anyone looking in the cockpit,always covered,for a plane developed 50 plus years ago,wonder what goodies it had,I'm guessing it was something to do with the aircrafts radar signature and the reducing airflow around it,drag.

[JesusFruit10]

Fucking idiots talking about black ops, they didn't even know about it before it.

[commandosolo2009]

btw, I sold it. MW2 is waay butter!!

[commandosolo2009]

did it hover in the stratosphere or the blackops footage is bullshit?

[thestickysoldiers]

@commandosolo2009 no, it flies dangerously close to space, it doesnt hover, the black ops footage showed it going slowly. You cant define the rules of gravity after all

[Newbpwng]

pretty low tech cockpit if you ask me

[lacokai]

@Newbpwng dude ! think about that this aircraft is from 1960, you expect LCD screens or something ? this is the best plane in the world so far...

[SecondStepGaming]

@Newbpwng pretty high-tech jet if you ask me

[Anorag]

its nuts to know they went in THAT thing it's cockpit almost up into space... damn :)

[pMcARDENboyz]

what was this aircraft used for was it a reconnaissance plane or a bomber

[psychopath234]

@pMcARDENboyz it was used for reconnaissance

[dangerjuices]

so many buttons i want to press them all

[Indianmalujl]

@dangerjuices  hope you press eject first.

[G00g284]

lol

[1D0N]

@Indianmalujl: Actually, you don't ''Press'' eject, you ''Pull'' eject.

[TheOneRaf]

@Indianmalujl

that would be pulling XD

so if he wants to pull his pisser he might do so xD

[ricardoeldelmustang]

@Indianmalujl nice reply of yours but I hate to tell you that´s a lever you must pull real hard.

[Pr3dProductionsHD]

@Indianmalujl LMAFO!!! XD!!!

[BJWTF]

@dangerjuices Theres not that much buttons they are mostly gauges and warning lights.

[xt600power]

@dangerjuices ahahaha me too! looks so fun!!! lol

[kuriaqui]

@dangerjuices especially the big red one lol

[FernandinhoToscano]

man, call me crazy... but I think it looks confortable.I would love to live in a Blackbird!

[EmpireLS56KW]

Wow I, never seen a view from the cockpit of the SR-71 before. That is one tight restricted space and the hours these guys pulled on these (classified top secret missions) hours on end. I guess they pee into tube since the plane is flying at high altitude.

[IC2720]

They wore (still wear) absorbent underwear, kind of like what your Granny wears at the old folks home. If you watch fighter pilots walk after a mission, they have that kind of bow legged stride. It's because the garment gets full. Baby diapers use the same absorbant material. To keep from having to poo, the crews eat high protein, low fiber diets before a mission.

[3rni3PL]

@IC2720 I wear those all the time. Before I get in my car, I don a pair, and just relieve my self for the hell of it, while I drive the wrong way down a one way, through a school zone, doing 7 over. God, I get so excited breaking the law.

[sophiemaggie1]

@IC2720 no we dont. theres a piss bottle made for pilots. you can buy them from any aviation goods store. As for in compression flights there is a rubber piece you put over your cock. Watch "top gear james may in space" on youtube. he does a U-2 flight and they go over it. I know the Iraqs, Iranians, and russians all piss themselves but thats more from fear.

[sixxteenbits]

Amazing. Is this open to the public?

[gothenburgmark]

seems so claustraphobic!

[lord124]

looks like u got more space than a F-16

but les sight

[OsanBlackCat5RS]

this simulator still exists? wow

[BobMarkeyUGT]

Not only does it still exist, it was still kept in operational condition before being brought in to the frontiers of flight museum. It is one of a kind, no other exists. Plans are to return it to operational status.

[b1cc2]

as of when? Is NASA sending their birds up again?

[BobMarkeyUGT]

There is no timeline currently on getting it back to operational status. The objective is to preserve it as a functional museum piece. Right now it's set up where you can walk up and peer into the pilot's cockpit section, with the RSO cockpit section nearby (but closed usually) and the control station and computers nearby, but nothing is connected or powered up.

[b1cc2]

Where did it come from, Edwards? I'll have to come visit, I'm in Texas. Where is this museum?

[BobMarkeyUGT]

Yeah, it had been in storage at Edwards prior to being shipped out to the Frontiers of Flight Museum. It's located near the SW corner of Love Field Airport (KDAL) just north of the Lemmon/Mockingbird intersection.

[maplefan94]

amazing.

[cdhallesq]

Awesome! Gotta love the Blackbird!
