SR-71, the Blackbird, Q&A

De: Terry Pappas

Narrado por: Chris Abell

Higher, farther, faster - what every real aviator aspires to. The SR-71 was the epitome of this dream for three decades. The only way to beat the SR-71 was to rocket into space, and every astronaut in the office with me in the 1960s would have loved to have flown the Blackbird. In many ways it placed greater demand on piloting proficiency than any spacecraft. Terry's book answers all those questions you ever had about the wonderful challenge of controlling an airplane, flying at 80,000 feet and more than three times the speed of sound for hours at a time.

Good; however it could have been great

The story, format, and narration is very good; however portions of the book are redundant. In-addition, the index, glossary, and picture review add an additional hour to the listen.

A legendary pilot

A great pilot who wrote a great story and answered questions that no one else could have. I found this book maturative and developmental and generally worthwhile to listen to. I further highly recommend this book.

learned some fun stuff

I can't find the PDF to see the pics he talks
about. on an Android

SAD

Should still be flying, what a shame to that beaurcrats have no business deciding greatness.

Outstanding Story

Very interesting story. Would have been nice to see accompanied photos. Puts you in the minds of the pilots.
