Getting stuck behind a diesel PU truck in traffic could cause fear and anxiety for the same reason. Therefore anyone following a stinky diesel is less reational? sheesh, Ralph!

I missed by a day seeing this bird land from ferry flight to WP, in spring 1970. The buzz that summer was it would fly once more, during the air show (where I got to see Harold Krier for the first and last time). But during the show, no SR71 appeared. The 'freindlies' wouldn't let it fly. And yes, today its in pretty 'un-airworthly' condition. North American engineers led by Kelly Johnson had their last hurrah with this bird.

Accroding to another recent article... if the ship is nose down and fast, you can't move the trim wheel manually; you have to do a 'roller coaster' maneuver, and roll the wheel in increments after the horizontal is 'unloaded'.

Not saying its right, but in China, these Boeing execs would be facing a firing squad - literally.
