THAT is the most awesome thing you will EVER SEE!! I feel I was blessed to be stationed on Okinawa when they were flying!! The WHOLE island stopped to see that show!! When those big j58's lit those afterburners you could feel your soul shake!! The absolute GREATEST jet plane ever built!! If you are A plane nut to see a Blackbird takeoff in real LIFE is like you have no more purpose in life cause you've seen it ALL! You have witnessed the greatest Bird to ever fly leave it's nest!And I've seen it over 30 times and I STILL get goosebumps looking at THIS!!!😎 nothing like it!!!!

@@nynthworld4152 The actual "rocket ride" missions were the 2 unrefueled sorties flown out of Kadena over Korea. Each mission was only 53 minutes long. And the crews competed for the best time to climb records. Winning time was 14 minutes from wheelstop to Mach 3.2 at 80,000 feet.

I was an Aircraft dispatcher at Kadena and always put the flight plan for the SR-71, it was short and sweet, direct direct to above 60k feet, that was it until it would come back, where is went who knows, can only guess. I would go out on the flight line to see it take off, about a 25 foot flame from the engines out the back, and the power it had, wow, this is back in 1967. One last note, no other aircraft was allowed to land or take off, when the SR-71, was ready to go.

That is one plane that I never got tired of seeing it take off, making a low pass, or watch it fly. One place I lived was an area I could see it at night flying higher than any other plane, and it would be across the sky so fast. One time my GF said it was a satellite, I just smiled and told her to wait. When the sonic boom hit it would seem like it shook the ground. I had the honor to be able to speak to the pilot of an A-12, the one at the site in Mobile AL. We chatted for quite a while, he was very gracious with his time. IMHO the greatest plane ever built, designed on paper with slide rules. Thank you for posting!

The SR-71 Blackbird was so awesome to watch take off and I have the honor to watch take off from the rear and watch it disappear in seconds at a very steep angle upward. The plane had to be refueled after takeoff. Do some research it was the most remarkable aircraft in American military history

I remember being in the SR-71 SOF doing a runway sweep. Then setting waiting for the take off clearance. Take off was at 2200 and watching the HABU take off was just something to kill time. Watched the HABU take off at many FOLs. I wish I could do it all over again.
@hoghogwild
@hoghogwild 2 года назад
Like all other A-12/M-21/YF-12A and SR-71A/B/C, afterburner engagement is offset by a few milliseconds. The starboard(right) a/b is the first to light, followed by the port(left) J58. The angle, lighting and focus are all contributing to the appearance of simultaneous engagement of the J58 afterburners. The afterburners of the J58 have such a high fuel flow that it is less stressful on the associate main propulsion system to have each engines a/b ignited in a staggered fashion. It's exactly the same reason why each of the 3 Space Shuttles RS-25 main engines and the 4 RS-25 main engines that SLS uses both have a 120 millisecond space between the ignition of each engine. It reduces the stress on the MPS.

If you ever get to hear a F22 throttling it engines on landing....that kinda whistling sound it makes?! Is VERY close to the sound.

@hoghogwild
@hoghogwild 2 года назад
During the last few minutes of refueling from the tanker, the 71 became so heavy with fuel that even with the tanker at almost full speed, the SR71 would approach its stalling speed. To counteract this, the pilot would stroke minimum afterburner on a single J58 engine, and use the other "dry" non afterburning engine to control forward speed via that engines throttle and be able to match the tankers speed. While that single J58 is only at minimum burner, the a/b is engaged during that last phase of refueling
