@godthisisannoying no, it can fly around the world in 45 minutes....

@STKhero lol, no, it can't fly around the world in 45 minutes. It can fly at over 3 times the speed of sound, though. I believe the record for a long flight was set in a New York - London flight - the average speed was over 2000mph, and the flight took 1 hour and 55 minutes.

A sr-71 finished refueling over the SF-Oakland bay area. It got its bearing and put on the afterburners. I was gonel.

there is a second version of the SR-71 called the YF-12 that haad missiles
-
To set the record straight the SR-71 is a spy plane and was used only to spy on other counties it had only a camera and did not have guns on board and was able at that time to out run any hostile force such as missiles or SAM

You didn't have to say the words "I don't like Jews", you comments convey that message. It is an issue of tone, syntax, context, verbage and all that. I can see through your statements to the ant-semitism. It's normal that you would back-pedal when called on it... In the modern world most anti-semites won't publically admit to being anti-Jewish. It leaves a bad taste in most people's mouths these days, unless you are Arab. Then you quite like the taste, I'd imagine. Sorry I jumped on you.

Tribal folk can be tought sure... But it will take a lot longer, cost a lot more money, and generally be more difficult than it would be if you were training someone from an advanced nation. This is probably why you don't see many (if any) Ethopian pilots in the I.A.F. It's not racism that keeps them out, it's all the advanced testing that weeds them out. You have to be the cream of the crop to make it into the I.A.F., and the Ethopians aren't so creamy yet... Give them time.

Yes, I am saying that Ethopians cannot be tought to fly American planes as well as Israelis, and others from more developed countries. The Ethopians live in a much older, much simpler society. They are not advanced enough in terms of education and whatnot to lend themselves to training on advanced hardware as easily as others from more advanced countries. If you have never seen a warship before, how can you expect to become as good at using one as someone who has grown up with them?

"Well Dick, anti-semitism is a stinky cologne... And you STINK to high-heaven, sir. Why is that?"
What did I say that was anti Jewish?
You are a defensive, sad little man if that is how you choose respond to what I said.
BTW, this is a bad ass tune, what is this?

The music seems a little... off. SR-71s weren't designed to kill or bomb anything. They're reconnaissance planes. And awesome ones too. Of course, we've got satellites now... which are probably way more fuel efficient. Heh.
