Thank you so much for the book. I was a specially surprised to find that you had autographed it as well. I probably delivered a weather briefing to your crew at one time as I was a forecaster there the same time as Mr. Baldy. They offered me the civilian job there after Mr. Baldy retired but I was already called to a job in the bay area with a Weather consulting firm. 4 1/2 years at Beale AFB was pretty special. Again thank you and good luck. MSGT James W Harris IV, Ret.

This was the 4th book of Rich Grahams I have purchased. I believe I have them all now. This one doesn't disappoint! Once I started it I couldn't put it down. I love the stories and highlights of each of the Habu's as they began their adventures flying this plane. The stories told when this magnificent lady ruled the skies. To the bitter end due to our government's short sightedness. That said, I would like to thank Rich Graham for writing these books. Your books give people like me an inside look into a world I remember dreaming about as a kid. And gives everyone a chance to feel what it was like to be a Habu. God Bless and Thank you. Justin 7916
The book is very informative about those courageous pilots and RSOs who flew the SR-71 and the missions they flew.. The missions they flew were very dangerous. Reading the book about the missions that were flown in the SR-71 gives you an adrenalin rush.

If you are an aviation buff then you will love reading this book. From some of the pilots that flew the famous SR71 black bird comes some fascinating stories of their missions. Things happen very fast when flying at three times the speed of sound and when it happens you are right there with the pilot as he figures out what is wrong and how to fix it. At mach 3.3 things happen fast. It is hard to pt the book down. Enjoy.
