PTH...No one has 20,000, much less 2,000 in the SR71. The high time U2 pilot has just over 2,000. As for the B58 or what ever else, what's your point. BTW I work with a former SR71 guy and his total time in the airplane is less than 500 hours, but it makes for a **** hot story at the bar.
411A is an extremely interesting. I believe I know who is hiding behind his screen name but it's meaningless. "Thirty five years as a widebody Commander" looks good on your mantle but it won't get you a cheeseburger in todays world.
Like many of us on this board I suppose we try to put a face with the person hiding behind the screen name. How about some full disclosure and sharing your background with us as I usually enjoy reading your posts.
