I swear in every Blackbird video someone says Dear Santa

-_-

Dear Santa...

[mkantor90]

this is actually a training version of the aircraft (SR-71B) - note the second cockpit

[highsteel240]

Dear Satan.....

No sound barrier in Mach 3 ? --'

@TheDuvalMilitia ...it was supposed to leak fuel. That was literally by design.

@fortyninepages It actually gathered most of what we then knew about the Soviets, Chinese, and North Koreans. The U2 had practically been nullified by the soviets so with the SR-71 we could again fly over USSR air space with ease.

there is no way that plane was doing mach3 considering the chase plane would have fallen way back if that was the case.

I think the trainer version (the so-called "titanium goose") shown in this video cannot go up to Mach 3.........

That thing needs to get in the kitchen and make me a sammich...

@beeroosterm Where in that guy's post does it say that the leaking fuel was a defect? It doesn't say that anywhere. He understands that it's not a defect. He was telling "deadman6504" that the SR-71 was retired for multiple reasons, none of which were the stealth bomber. Sad that 2 people can say the same thing yet somehow "dissagree". The internet amazes me daily with the caliber of people who post comments.
