  2. Dennis started working on that several years ago. He had single page handouts back in 2011.

    I see he has the SR-71 incidents now. I know he had X-15 incidents previously, but don’t recall the SR-71 events. I watched the video of the M21 crash yesterday. It is amazing that any crew member survived the ejection at Mach 3.

    1. I knew about the M-21/D-21 accident but didn’t know video was available. Thanks for the heads up. I just watched it. The video of the first flight made me think, “World’s Fastest Biplane!” I remember hearing one of NASA’s 747 carrier aircraft say that when it was carrying the Shuttle, it was the World’s Largest Biplane.
      Have you read about Bill Weaver surviving having his SR-71 breakup at Mach 3+? His backseater also died.
