                            Any man who has testosterone in his system appreciates that the SR71 is THE BIGGEST PENIS ever built. And we love it for it. Almost as fast as an English Electric Lightning, but with far bigger range!

                              I'm fairly certain I have met both those guys. Many years back, when I was a young lad in the Navy, my in-laws lived outside Beale, in the Lake Wildwood area. At that time, it was a smaller community, but lots of Air Force people, especially pilots lived up there because it was so very nice, and had some very expensive homes as well. My father-in-law built custom homes and knew several pilots from doing thier homes for them. On weekends, my wife and I would head up that way (from NAS Moffetf Field) and these guys would come over for a beer and we'd talk military stuff back and forth. Memories.

                                Very, very, very cool. Extremely fascinating. Thanks for sharing. I have to say, the following is my favorite part of the excerpt: "I could see the eerie shine of my gold spacesuit incandescently illuminated in a celestial glow. I stole one last glance out the window. Despite our speed, we seemed still before the heavens, humbled in the radiance of a much greater power. For those few moments, I felt a part of something far more significant than anything we were doing in the plane." Indeed.
