Now here is one heck of a story about the SR-71… Originally shared by +**** "I attempted to tell Jim what was happening and to stay with the airplane until we reached a lower speed and altitude.

Still trying to communicate with Jim, I blacked out, succumbing to extremely high g-forces. Then the SR-71. . literally. . disintegrated around us. From that point, I was just along for the ride.
