Perfect, this gets declassified. Meanwhile, I have an A-10 Warthog in my driveway that I still don't know how to put in reverse without one of those damned AGM-114 Hellfire Missiles going off. Still waiting for that manual to be released.

Worst twenty grand I ever spent.

I don't think the SR-71 even runs on jet fuel. I think it runs on some wierd fuel that is only made specifically for it.

Think it does, Be pretty stupid to build a aircraft that requires a certain fuel type. They would only be able to get fuel at certain bases.

there are many, many things that are "pretty stupid" involving keeping the blackbird in the air. It had to be refueled midair 4-5 time each mission.That's why it was scraped. They're developing a new one though.

After researching it they did need to develop a new fuel for the blackbird. It's still based on jet fuel but they had to put a bunch of different additives in it for the blackbird.

Isn't this the bird that leaks like a sieve on the ground and then tightens up once it gets to altitude?

My cousin was a USAF KC-135 crew chief, I vaguely remember him talking about different planes but I was too young and distracted to remember much.

yes it is.

When the A-12/SR-71 was being developed, there were all kinds of wierd fuel research projects going on. The one with the most promise as called Boron ZIP fuel - it was incredibly dangerous and difficult to handle but did provide more energy than any of the standard jet fuels. It was cancelled when the B-70 project wound down; but at the time no one without the highest security classifications knew that the SR-71 project was well underway.

      Walterfootball says this Panthers team might be the WORST team of ALL TIME

      By Cavscout · Posted

      The reason why the Panthers are in an eternal rebuild under David Tepper started in 2020: "BY  STEVE REED Updated 1:59 PM EDT, December 21, 2020 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Panthers owner David Tepper says he wants the organization to continue taking steps toward a more “data-driven and analytics approach” to scouting personnel moving forward. That’s one of the reasons Tepper decided to fire general manager Marty Hurney on Monday. Tepper said Hurney was more “traditional” in his approach to scouting and player personnel, but he wants to use more analytics when the team makes decisions." Analytics in scouting = NO TALENT ON THE ROSTER
