Most of the pilots that flew these incredible aircraft are really fascinating. Everyone who flew these beasts has many stories too tell . One of Brian Shul’s amazing stories was his encounter with a weather balloon at 80,000 feet, I think he may have just missed it, but it gave him a scare, from the time he first saw it to it disappeared in his mirror measured in seconds.

We have one at the Museum of Flight here in Seattle. Beautiful. Businesslike. Special purpose. It is really great to here it from the pilot himself. Frank Murrey has a good memory of all those little details of flight. I like his description of the afterburner plume, the periscope, sealant seeping out of the windshield at speed when everything is hot. Operational procedures about engine start, the sound of the big v8 start cart engines.

This man’s life is just unbelievable.

Back around 1973/74 I can not remember the exact year I was a Coast Guard pilot stationed at CGAS San Francisco flying the venerable replacement for the PBY, the Grumman HU-16E Albatross seaplane. Our C130 crews were required to renew their pressurization credentials in the altitude chamber and the nearest one for us was located at Beale AFB. One day I flew a number of our guys to Beale for their recurrent chamber training. We used one of our stations’s HU-16s for this mission thus leaving our C130s back in San Fran for more important duties. While hanging around Base OPs waiting for my pax to return an SR71 pilot arrived to pick up some needed paperwork. I was impressed by his HABU and Mach 3+ patches. I asked the guy if he could show me one of his airplanes. He said sure but then he would have to kill me. I accused him of being a spoil sport then invited him out to see some of my equipment that he definitely did not carry on his SR71. We walked out onto the ramp to my waiting Grumman HU-16E Albatross airplane. We had a good laugh when I climbed up forward into the bow and brought back my anchor and boat hook for his inspection.

Quite correct on your statement, They only ever state the operational speed of 3.2 but remember seeing a doc while back stating that around 3.5 3.6 was it's max speed. That bird was so powerful she would continue acelerateing until she melted her engines. The absolute max speed was determined by the the thermal barrier she lived in. The engine inlet air temperature is the limiting factor as the air entering the engines would continue to increase in temperature as she went ever faster until the point that the inlet stages of the engine compressor sections reached their melting point at which time it would be game over. Just mind blowing the performance of this air breathing black dragon.

San Diego Air and Space Museum should get students of military history to do these interviews. While the interviewer may be an earnest person the product is imperfect. The interviewer should ( I was in doc for 20 odd years) become proficient in the subject matter of the individual interview. While the effort is good the result leaves much to be desired. Hopefully future interviews by this interviewer will have the attempted intimacies established before the camera rolls. Great annoyance.."really, I didn't know that..."( 5:42) AaaaaaaaaHHHHH!

you are severely mistaken. the interviewer is a former military pilot (he says he flew f4's in the interview) and he clearly knows what he's doing and he's talked to a number of other blackbird and a12 pilots in other interviews. i don't like his style of cutting off the speaker in his interviews but his pilot background results in him asking questions that elicit a lot of technical detail that only pilots would understand and appreciate. i am glad that he did this.

when he talked about the problem with it at 16, he's referring to that cone shaped device at the front of the engines. They had to be developed to control the flow of air to the engine, and control the supersonic shock wave at the front. The air flow, at speed, was often interrupted, they called it a "unstart" and they never really solved it. The basic problem is getting an air-fed engine to operate at that speed. See the books by Kelly Johnson, Ben Rich, and others. They all mention it. The reason the A12 couldn't exceed mach 3.2 was not that they lacked engine power, but the aircraft would heat up too much. To this day, no one, no country or aircraft mfr on earth, has duplicated the A12. You can hand them the blueprints and they couldn't build it. You may as well hand iPhone blueprints to a neanderthal!

Frank Murray is a national treasure. However, the interviewer is terrible!

You never know who sit shoulder to shoulder with... I flew for a State/Fed Agency 99.9% at night mainly interdiction, support. Back then it was some state of the art sensors, goggles, something called GPS.. A new hire flew with me and I had to show him the procedure for signing out $25000 latest Gen NV, thermal gear... I knew he was Airforce but 3/4 were. Then piece by piece over the year I learned he flew F-111s when Reagan was POTUS. Hmmm.. Put 2x2 and figured out what he did. Then came the revelation he carried nuclear weapons on that beast. I recall thinking this man had 20+ years on me and signed out for nukes!! Here I was showing him how to use goggles and telling him if he loses or breaks em, he pays for them....

The interviewer knows nothing about interviews. Felt more like an interrogation to me. 😐
