My brother was in the Air Force back in the mid '70's and stationed at Beale AFB. He managed to get
dad and me onto the flight line so we could see the KC-135 he flew on. While there, we heard an SR-71
fire up on the other side of the field. Eventually, the SR-71 taxied out and took off. We were standing
at the blast wall to the main runway and man, let me tell you how loud it was! It made your guts
rumble! What a sight!
