I recently watched a video on youtube where you describe the SR-71 for a full hour. You noted how while there were leaks of the JP-7 fuel on the ground, the amount was often exaggerated by everyone who says basically that you have to refuel as soon as you are airborne. In reality how long did you really have before you had to do the in-air refueling?
Also can you talk about other myths you've seen perpetuated about the aircraft?
Finally are there any books you can recommend regarding the SR-71? I would have loved to get a hold of Brian Shul's book but it is out of print, sadly.
