Thought some of you folks would get a kick out of this. Major Brian Shul, USAF (Ret.) relays the true story of a ground speed check with Los Angeles Center, while piloting the SR-71 Blackbird over Southern California.

One of the few planes (I think Concorde is another) that actually saved fuel by flying faster.
