kimberacp Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 thanks Chuck. awesome. my final years at Lockheed, I was in Shunk Works at the Palmdale facility. My supervisor, took myself and a coworker to the staging area for the SR. We watched from the van, the pilots boarding the SR. You could see the fuel dripping as it taxi out. Then we drove to the end of the runway, got out of the van and stood there waiting. We watched the two chase planes take off, flew right over us. Finally, the Blackbird, flew over. I did not have a camera. And yes, you could feel it through your body as it flew over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
