I used to work in Mildenhall in a plant near the runway and I vividly recall watching (and feeling) the SR71 take off on Thursdays in the nineties. I recall plant productivity would fall close to zero every time!  It is a visceral experience few seemed to tire of!  The example on display at Duxford also makes the hairs on my whole body stand on end every time I see it!

I'm always highly impressed, but not surprised, by the sheer focus and intelligence of the SR Pilots. Especially considering they're in their 70s at this point.

I was able to attend this talk in person, thank you Cindy and everyone at the WMoF for showing me around and making me feel welcome!

Please, never stop making these videos.
They are absolutely amazing. Thank you for putting them out for us to learn from and enjoy.

Another great video, there's not a lot of these people to begin with, it won't be too much longer before such stories become increasingly difficult to find.

Thank you Jack, and thank you to everyone involved for making these presentations possible. It's fascinating historically, and of course, fascinating for those of us who are aviation fans. Wonderful stories, told by the people who lived them!

These are two levels ahead and some. Amazing

Very enjoyable.Thank you to all who made this possible .

This presentation was very informative. I particularly appreciated the fact that he repeated the question before answering. In too many interviews the questioner cannot be heard and the answer can be confusing. Very well done.

Thank you for all you and your buddies have done including this info.
Wish I was blessed to fly it but thanks for allowing us to hear how fun it was

Love me some SR-71, thank you for the upload.

Thank you for uploading this amazing VIDIEO on the sr-71 (blackbird) I love Aircraft and always like to study about them

I love this videos. Just to be fair is t possible to have not only pilots but other crew number speech like the navigators or spy instrument controller so on because hey was imortant as the pilots

Thank you !
Retired technician, now just a modeler - your "first hand" stories  are priceless..

ANS, the original R2D2.

Superb, clear, knowledgeable presentation

A wonderful interview, thank you!

Another fantastic video, keep it up.

Can't get enough of these videos...great work here...an extended / long form video with Jack Veth, other SR or U2 pilots are sorely needed and very much appreciated.  Thank you!

Wonderful!  Thank you so much!
