  1. Hi Ed. Another gem. I have the book and the technology required to achieve production was jaw dropping .....and so was the cost ! As much you have to admire Kelly Johnson , you do wonder if the money could have been more wisely used. I 've seen the SR71 at Duxford and it is breath taking . I was also fortunate to chat with a retired pilot ! Thanks Ed.

  2. Hi . I live over the pond and an absolutely fan of all things Tex Johnson and "skunkworks" . However , the idea that 250 of these hideously expensive virtual spacecraft were built is fantasy world . For no other reason than finding and training pilots to fly these magnificent aircraft. Over here we call this "village gossip" .
