[simpits-tech] SR-71 Manual online

[Brian Sikkema]

Very cool!

I gotta say, though, if there is one plane I wouldn't want to build a pit 
for, its the Habu. I mean, yeah, its an AWESOME aircraft (one of, if not 
THE, best ever), but from everything I've seen and heard, the thing was a 
MONSTER to fly. An accurate simulation would be more work than fun, because 
you'd know in the back of your head that you weren't REALLY going Mach 
3000000. ;)

My .02$

PS - if you havent picked up and read the book "Sled Driver" by Brian Shul 
yet, DO IT! Some of the best Blackbird pics EVER, and a great insight into 
the Habu.
