Since you’ve brought it up, has there ever been a female quarterbacks coach in D-1 history?
Good point. I guess being a female QB coach would be regressing. Not sure why he would want to do that.
I think it was the fastest in history (or close to it), by virtue of basically getting up into lower orbit, so it was doing as fast as stuff that orbits does, which is to say, like thousands of miles per hour. Oh hey, I went and looked it up!
Since 1976, it has held the world record for the fastest air-breathing manned aircraft, a record previously held by the related Lockheed YF-12.
On 28 July 1976, SR-71 serial number 61-7962, piloted by then Captain Robert Helt, broke the world record: an "absolute altitude record" of 85,069 feet (25,929 m).
That same day SR-71 serial number 61-7958 set an absolute speed recordof 1,905.81 knots (2,193.2 mph; 3,529.6 km/h), approximately Mach 3.3.
I was talking to a guy who was in the national guard in Lincoln in the Vietnam era. He said all of a sudden the base went into lockdown for no better terminology. All personel were confined to quarters.
An SR-71 had made an emergency landing in Lincoln. He was told the outer skin was too hot to touch with the bare hand
Some major nerdouts happening in this thread. Good thing he didn't tweet out a picture of a Lionel Train.
The SR-71 did not have a missile defense. It just outran the missiles. I am not kidding.
Also, the plane got to hot that the metal expanded in the air. So the plane would leak all the time on the ground and would 'bond' together in the air due to the heat.
Read up on the Sr-71, it is really, really cool. And I am not even a gear head/aviation nut.
Whatever it was, it is a seriously bad *** aircraft! First time I saw one was at Lowry AFB in Denver 25/30 years or so ago. When I walked into the hanger in which it was being housed, it startled me at first glance, a very wicked and awe inspiring thing to see.
That alien technology is something!
Speed city is his motto or brand.
That our offense will have speed at all positions and we run our offense at warp speed.
Well that's the intent, reality might be different

Saw an SR-71 (Blackbird) at the Evergreen Aircraft Museum in McMinnville, OR. There were some retired USAF pilots on hand who answered questions about the various aircraft. The Blackbird is amazing! The Spruce Goose (the Hughes Flying Boat) is part of Evergreen's aircraft collection.
The SR-71 never got close to orbit. Need to get to at least Mach 20-something to get to orbit. SR-71 was only Mach 3. Also it probably only ever got up to 70,000 feet. The line to space is at least 4x higher than that and orbits are higher still.
The sr 71 set a world altitude record at 85,069 feet. Kelly Johnson was a amazing designer to work for skunkworks
Oh?! I had one of these as a kid!!
If you still have it, it's probably worth a ton of money.
Holds the altitude record of 85,000 ft with a speed record of 3.3 mach, the plane is listed as mach 3+ because actual speed and altitude are classified.there are unsubstantiated reports of it hitting 100,000 feet. There are also report of it reaching mach 3.5.
Skin temps reach 450 degrees F near the back part of the aircraft to 950 degrees F at engine exhaust. With the aircraft reaching those types of temperatures they had to allow for expansion of the fuselage in flight. On the ground it leaks fuel like a sieve so is only partially fueled just prior to takeoff. Once in the air it joins up with a tanker to and takes on the max load of 80,000 lbs of fuel.
