SR-71 Blackbird Full Panorama Cockpit

Post by mincemeat »

The cockpit of the Blackbird is AMAZING! I don't think this works on mobile devices. http://nmusafvirtualtour.com/media/068/ ... ckpit.html

Here are some great stories from Blackbird pilots. They are a bit long, but well worth the read.

Since there was such tremendous interest in this post, :violin: I thought I would add the cockpit explanation video by a former Blackbird pilot.
