Blackbird pilot recalls when his SR-71 Flew so Fast that he and his RSO Landed at Beale AFB almost a Day Before They Took Off from Kadena AB

SR-71 Pilot tells the story of when his Blackbird flew So Fast that He and his RSO arrived at Beale AFB almost a Day Before They Left Kadena AB

The SR-71 Blackbird

The SR-71, the most advanced member of the Blackbird family that included the A-12 and YF-12, was designed by a team of Lockheed personnel led by Clarence “Kelly” Johnson, then vice president of Lockheed’s Advanced Development Company Projects, commonly known as the “Skunk Works” and now a part of Lockheed Martin.

SR-71 T-Shirts

CLICK HERE to see The Aviation Geek Club contributor Linda Sheffield’s T-shirt designs! Linda has a personal relationship with the SR-71 because her father Butch Sheffield flew the Blackbird from test flight in 1965 until 1973. Butch’s Granddaughter’s Lisa Burroughs and Susan Miller are graphic designers. They designed most of the merchandise that is for sale on Threadless. A percentage of the profits go to Flight Test Museum at Edwards Air Force Base. This nonprofit charity is personal to the Sheffield family because they are raising money to house SR-71, #955. This was the first Blackbird that Butch Sheffield flew on Oct. 4, 1965.

The Blackbird design originated in secrecy during the late 1950s with the A-12 reconnaissance aircraft that first flew in April 1962 and remained classified until 1976. President Lyndon Johnson publicly announced the existence of the YF-12A interceptor variant on Feb. 29, 1964, more than half a year after its maiden flight. The SR-71 completed its first flight on Dec. 22, 1964.

The Blackbird was designed to cruise at “Mach 3+,” just over three times the speed of sound or more than 2,200 miles per hour and at altitudes up to 85,000 feet.

The incredible speed of the SR-71 Blackbird

So, it comes as no surprise if, thanks to its astonishing flight characteristics, the aircraft has set numerous speed and altitude records throughout its career.

To give a real perspective of the incredible speed the iconic Blackbird could attain, SR-71 pilot David Peters tells the following, fabulous story.

‘We were TDY to Det. 1 at Kadena AB, Okinawa. One of the birds was scheduled for swap out and my back seater, Ed Bethart, and I were to fly it home. The replacement came in on Friday and we were to leave Saturday morning. So, in true Habu tradition we welcomed the incoming crew and went to happy hour Friday evening at the officers’ club.

David Peters and Ed Bethart

A true story

‘We got up Saturday morning and got ready to go home. Departure was scheduled for 1000. Everything went well and we departed right on time. Headed out to do a pass through the Korean DMZ then into the tankers in the Sea of Japan. Good refueling and climb out headed for the Sea of Okhotsk and the Kamchatka peninsula of Russia and from there to more tankers off of Adak in the Aleutian Islands. Another good refueling and on to Beale AFB California.

‘We arrived with a low approach pulled up into a closed pattern and landed. Following de-suiting and debrief we deposited our classified flight documents jumped in a car and arrived at the officers club for Friday night happy hour at 1630 17 1/2 hours before we left Kadena.

[edwardseymour]

I noticed when you wrote about John Seymour, you didn’t mention that whole having an affair with his daughter in law. What are your thoughts on that?

???

my opinion is that i have doubts that it happened that way. i think it’s engaging, if bleak, content for a fictional portrayal, but i think it’s historical authenticity has been overstated.

what we know is that when katherine’s father died in 1527, he wrote his daughter out of his will (which edward seymour contested with the argument that his father-in-law, william filliol, was not of sound mind: “having many sundry and inconstant fantasies in his latter days”). we might assume she had entered a convent, as she was bequeathed an annuity of £40, which edward had no claim to, “as longe as shee shall lyve vertuously and abide in some honest house of Relegion of wymen. […] Yf my seid doughter do not lyve vertuously and abide in some honest house of religion of wymen to the pleasing of God, then I will that my said doughter have no parcell of the said 40”. so her father wanted her in a convent, but it’s not clear when/if she entered one, as she gave birth to her second child (edward) around 1528-29. so the most we can reliably say is that there was some kind of falling out between katherine and her father, and her father with the seymours.

there’s no evidence that they divorced, and it seems like she died in 1535, thereby freeing edward to remarry. later, a land grant stipulated that edward’s children by his second wife, anne somerset, would be the ones to inherit. katherine’s line should only inherit if anne’s line failed (which is ultimately what happened), and only by the heirs of katherine’s second son, edward (“with contingent remainders in tail male to Edward Seymour, his son by his late wife, Katharine”). katherine’s first son, john, was excluded entirely. as far as i can tell, edward didn’t fully abandon his children by katherine, but nevertheless they were stripped of their inheritance.

it’s not clear why edward may have taken issue with his first marriage or with his first son, john. adultery was only claimed after the fact, by a peter heylyn in 1674 — who in the same claim describes edward as using magic to snoop on his wife, thereby catching her in adultery while away in france. he also got the order of katherine’s sons wrong, so make of that what you will. only a seventeenth century marginal note specifies adultery with her father-in-law, john seymour: “divorced because she was known by his father after the wedding”.

john seymour did father an illegitimate son called john, around 1530. i suppose this has led to some confusion between edward seymour’s illegitimate half-brother, and his son by katherine filliol. there’s no evidence connecting this john to katherine, nor that the two johns are one and the same.

edward and katherine were married in 1514. edward would have been 14. katherine’s age is unknown; she has been estimated to have been born around 1507 — making her around seven at the time of her marriage. but this would have been exceptionally young for the time, so i estimate she was probably older, and closer to edward in age. the two would have been young enough to prompt the arrangement for them to live with john. he would have provided for them, responsible for their “meat, drink, learning and lodging, as apparel convenient for their degree”. additionally, edward was part of princess mary’s (henry’s sister) household, and would be enfant d’honneur at her marriage to louis xii of france in october 1514. there was a stipulation in their marriage contract that the marriage could be dissolved after three years, possibly to account for the time before the couple could consummate the marriage owing to katherine’s age. when their son, john, was born in 1518, edward would have been attending university. katherine would have been only about eleven if the 1507 date holds, but i think it’s possible she was older, and if we assume her to be around the same age as her husband, then she would have been in her late teens. margaret scard muses that john could have been fathered by katherine’s father-in-law — “a possibility since Katherine lived in the same house as her father-in-law and Edward had been away at university” — but it is purely speculative.

what can be said is that clearly nothing was made of this at the time; considering jane’s subsequent rise, no scandal seems to have been brought up regarding her family. likewise, edward’s career never seems to have been impacted by any connection to a scandal pertaining to his first wife. the seymours were not impacted by any controversy or shame. i think it’s possibly been given too much credence by alison weir, who claimed that “the scandal had shocked even Henry VIII’s courtiers”, but in actuality there’s nothing to suggest the court cared about edward’s first marriage, or about the quasi-incestuous affair — if it even took place. it has been used as an explanation for why jane did not marry william dormer, but there is nothing to suggest that john/katherine were a cited issue for the dormers. jane dormer and henry clifford tell us issue was taken with francis bryan’s involvement, and that jane's social rank was not sufficient for william dormer. no other issues with the seymours can be attributed to damaged reputation, certainly not on account of john having a sexual relationship with his daughter-in-law. nor is there any evidence of any discord between john and edward, regardless of elizabeth norton claiming their relationship “would have been irreparably damaged”. the fact that such little was made of it makes me doubt in its veracity, to be honest.

Project Aces didn’t need to go this hard.

I dusted off my PS2 the other week and have been playing the Holy Trinity in glorious low-res on a HDTV (great for the eyes, I know).

Decided to peruse the ACZ Assault Records and holy fuck the writers didn’t need to go this hard.

168 individual assault records with names, callsigns, aircrafts, nationalities, ages, and brief blurbs of each pilot, alongside a status?

Allow me to share a few:

#26

Monika Starke

“Bachsteize”

27 Female, Belkan Air Force

F/A-18C Hornet

KIA - Operation Round Hammer, 24/09/95

After graduating from the Belkan Air Force Academy, she enrolled in the Belkan Air Force where, during the wat, her duty was to protect installations along the Futuro Canal. Her military record, along with that her brother Fredi Starke, was highly praised.

#42

Heinrich Koenig

“Anwalt”

29 Male, Belka

F-20A Tigershark

Shot down - Operation Varsity, 12/05/95

During the war, he joined Belka’s extreme right-wing party, but disappeared when a cease-fire was declared. Investigation into his whereabouts continues. Update: 05/97 - Anonymous information states that he is now a member of the terrorist organisation ‘The Falcons of Dawn’.

SR-71 Blackbird engineers had a perplexing problem: why some of the aircraft’s titanium corroded?

The SR-71, the most advanced member of the Blackbird family that included the A-12 and YF-12, was designed by a team of Lockheed personnel led by Clarence “Kelly” Johnson, then vice president of Lockheed’s Advanced Development Company Projects, commonly known as the “Skunk Works” and now a part of Lockheed Martin.

The Blackbird design originated in secrecy during the late 1950s with the A-12 reconnaissance aircraft that first flew in April 1962 and remained classified until 1976. President Lyndon Johnson publicly announced the existence of the YF-12A interceptor variant on Feb. 29, 1964, more than half a year after its maiden flight. The SR-71 completed its first flight on Dec. 22, 1964.

Production of the SR-71 was done at the Skunk Works plant, in Burbank, California, as the photos in this post show [the image were taken in 1965 and show some of the first SR-71 under construction: featured in the pictures are the first B models (957 and 956) under construction with an A-model (955). My dad Richard “Butch“ Sheffield told me that he watched these airplanes under construction at the Skunk Works plant at Burbank].

The airframes were built almost entirely of titanium and other exotic alloys to withstand heat generated by sustained high-speed flight: in fact, the Blackbirds were designed to cruise at Mach 3 continuously for more than one hour at altitudes up to 85,000 feet. Blackbird’s engineers had a perplexing problem as to why some of the titanium was corroding. However, they figured out the reason. It was chlorine in the water!

According to Wisconsin Metal Tech, the engineers of the SR-71 were among the first people in history to make real use of the material. In that process, they ended up throwing away a lot of material, some through necessity, some through error. At times the engineers were perplexed as to what was causing problems, but thankfully they documented and cataloged everything, which helped find trends in their failures. They discovered that spot welded parts made in the summer were failing very early in their life, but those welded in winter were fine. They eventually tracked the problem to the fact that the Burbank water treatment facility was adding chlorine to the water they used to clean the parts to prevent algae blooms in summer, but took it out in winter. Chlorine reacts with titanium, so they began using distilled water from this point on.

They discovered that their cadmium plated tools were leaving trace amounts of cadmium on bolts, which would cause galvanic corrosion and cause the bolts to fail. This discovery led to all cadmium tools to be removed from the workshop.
