When I was computer system maintenance man at NORAD, we always could tell when the Blackbird was coming through our sector. Track was often coming out of Beale AFB in CA - extremely high altitude and a speed vector length many times longer than anything else in the sky! When at speed it could take a couple states to complete a 180 :cool-new:

I got sucked into the YouTube vortex for long enuff that I had to sign in to the forum again after that. Watched several more of the Blackbird vids. Knew one of the navigators, he had a courier business down here locally, after retirement. Great guy, too.
