As I'm sure you know, Major Shul is a talented writer, photographer and storyteller but is a somewhat controversial figure within the SR-71 alumni community. A couple of decades ago I asked a coworker who flew the SR if he knew Brian. The terse reply was 'no comment!'

I've got Shul's Blue Angels Wings of Gold book sitting on the shelf as I type.

Back in the 1970's I saw Brigadier General William Spruance's crash fire presentation at least three times. He had similar advice.
