Heard a story from a friend... was it one of you guys?... who told me they saw the SR 71 land in Florida late one morning and asked the pilot how fast it went. The pilot said that was classified, but the friend in question pressed him for at least a clue. The pilot smiled and said he could still have an early lunch in Paris if he wanted.

Was told to me second hand a several years ago, so I hope I didn't cross the story up too much... but you get the general idea. This sucker could move. I can't help but think they still have a couple on active service somewhere, for something.
