This is cool. The SR-71 is my all time favorite aircraft. The next is the X-15. Back in the 80's an SR-71 made an emergency landing in New Orleans.. at the Air Naval Base in Belle Chase (westbank side of the river, heading towards lots of marsh land.) From what I understand the pilots gave some order to the base commander that they were going to land and to prepare a hanger for the aircraft. They landed. I think 2 hours later another aircraft landed with some parts, maybe an engine. Some time later the SR-71 takes off.  Cool! If I were outside at the time, I probably could've seen it. Thing is, it was some years before I heard the SR-71 fleet were all retired. Then one lands in New Orleans. Then in the 90's they were used again.
