1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Loved the story, thanks Ozzy.

I was stationed at Beale AFB where the SR-71 was. It's an amazing aircraft.

Just sitting on the ground it looks like a sword point and you have absolutely no doubt that it's fast.


The funniest thing was that we couldn't take pictures of it, BUT you could buy a plastic model kit in the BX. :D


I've tried a few FSX SR-71s, but the feeling of being in front of one, just isn't there. :(
