#2 Lol, gromky! It just won't be quite as fast, heh.

I worked with a guy waay back when, who was an SR-71 mechanic (He would object and say "technician", lol!) who told me that after a run over NorKieland where they'd fire a missile or ten, the pilots would track 'em and said they were about 1/3 of the way back to Beall before the missiles could even reach altitude, heh. He said they were not cocky, just proud to ride real rockets for a living, heh.
