I read this story awhile ago.  It's a great read. @mastermario should appreciate it. Its a good great SR 71 Blackbird recap.

Lol ah those little digs are the best lol :

Somewhere, 13 miles above Arizona, there was a pilot screaming inside his space helmet. Then, I heard it. The click of the mic button from the back seat. That was the very moment that I knew Walter and I had become a crew. Very professionally, and with no emotion, Walter spoke: "Los Angeles Center, Aspen 20, can you give us a ground speed check?" There was no hesitation, and the replay came as if was an everyday request. "Aspen 20, I show you at one thousand eight hundred and forty-two knots, across the ground."

Post it up!

Lol yeah it is.  @mastermario

Some of the comments are pretty cool too. Like they said when the planes were landing, their nose edges were still glowing orange a bit from the first fiction.
