#vanlife .

Designed with slide rules, some as long as your leg. Leaks fuel when it’s on the ground. Last plane retired in 1998.

Still holds fastest plane airspeed record.

We saw this SR71C at the Hill AFB Museum (it’s free).

Pat, the veteran volunteering in the Museum, filled us in on details about the planes and his experiences.
