Excellent Interview with wonderful insight; also an interesting personal story of a great military career and Colonel Bledsoe's service to the United States.

Our SR-71 Blackbird aircrews were amazing.

Thank you so much, Backyard Astronomer for this fascinating interview. And thank you, my cousin Colonel Pat! Aerospace has interested me since i was very young, so this video was very interesting to watch and hear.

Thanks for sharing brother

If they can keep the U2 in service, just imagine what the SR71 could've become after all these years.

The Col was so poorly miked, that you couldn't hear him much of the time.
