The Air Force and Navy have a (usually) friendly rivalry about who is the most competent in the air.\u00a0 Sometimes the rivalry is settled by facts (but not usually).\u00a0 This case was settled by fact, using the case of the fastest jet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A friend shared a video with me on Wednesday that I want to share with Doctor Aviation<\/em> followers.\u00a0 It is priceless. \u00a0In the video, an unknown pilot tells a great story quite well.\u00a0 A few comments and then I will let the story teller take over.<\/p>\n

The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird was developed in the 1960s.\u00a0 We touch on the aircraft in Doctor Aviation<\/em> Session 6 when we discuss Kelly Johnson, who designed the jet.\u00a0 The Blackbird was used for reconnaissance for decades. \u00a0It exact specifications were classified.\u00a0 All that was shared was that the service ceiling with 60,000 feet plus (I was surprised to hear the figure shared in the following video) and the airspeed was reported to be Mach 3 Plus (with the emphasis on Plus). \u00a0That is over three times the speed of sound folks.<\/p>\n

So sit right back and hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip\u2026\u00a0 https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JamesHCartwright\/videos\/10211856230978847\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
