SR-71: PILOT’S SEAT
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 มิ.ย. 2023
- Step aboard the most Legendary Aircraft ever produced, the SR-71 Blackbird.
This video is the Pilot’s Seat, of
SR-71 Blackbird #971. Her permanent home is Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon USA.
It is the most complete Blackbird on display, including her ladder, featured in this video.
A tribute to the Engineering Marvel that is the SR-71, to the people that brought her to life, maintained her, and rode with them into the heavens.

I remember finishing ejection seat certs and at 19 sitting in the cockpit as a avionics technician in 1982 at Beale. I am 60 today but I will always remember that.
Very special
Máquina incrível!!!👏👏👏
It is indeed!
Thanks for the footage
Imagine how nice it would be to sit in RL-206 !¡!¡!¡! I guarantee that cockpit would be A-1 spectacular, 100% Tops 👍👍👍👍👍
Such a high tech machine of the time controlled so old school. More respect for the pilots and maintainers!
Absolutely. An engineering marvel.
Impressive!👍
Never push into full AB without shouting "hold on".
Love it.
My God....buttons and knobs are everywhere... and that throttle must have been the fun part of the job..... now that was being in the fast and furious making of the movie lol... the gforces must have been insane and pretty sure some people got sick flying this beast. Amazing video
Thank you, it was fun to make for sure.
Something about old school mechanical gages that makes a plane and plane.
It's like peering into the cockpits of NASA's early space capsules, Mercury, and Gemini - it's like they built them using tin snips, and went to the local Radio Shack to pick up a bucket or two of switches, wire, and solder.
I doubt you could use tin snips on the Titanium!@@easygoing2479
Glad they saved some of the GHE.
They wanted us to cut it all up at the end of the program in 1990.
That would have been a shame for sure.
I want to go in there
I love ❤️ the SR71
Imagine this plane is sixty years old ...
A pure engineering marvel.
Even the wing tips are specially shaped!!
My favourite aircraft, 93% Titanium (bought from the Russians!!), a superb piece of engineering! I've machined Titanium, so know how tough it is - you ALWAYS had to have a fire extinguisher by your machine!
That is NUTS!
I have read about the difficulty of machining titanium...But my knowledge of it is probably about 1% of what is actually involved.
My only experience with anything military was a stint in the Airborne.
Infantry.
I was running a component in the machine one day, then realised I'd forgot to blow the swarf out from previous component, thinking, oh hell, this component will be marked now!! I let it finish, took component out - not a sign of a mark anywhere! It must've been in the chuck.@@thecatthinks
I was machining a different component once, and trying to cut a straight surface... that stuff is SO tough, it literally bounces the cutter back, and you get a slightly curved surface!! Thankfully, I never needed my fire extinguisher. Apparently, when it over-heats (caused by blunt cutter), it burns like the Magnesium experiment at school.@@thecatthinks
Like a gran Prix car with a mixing studio.
How on earth can a pilot be familiar with all these controls and know when to use them? KUDO s to the SR71 pilots.
Reminds me of the bugs bunny cartoon he's in the pilot seat and see's 150 switches and just happened to pick the ONE button that made it start!
A tad different to my C150, and more switches than my 7 series ! LOL great vid, we have one at Duxford but no up close sigh.....
ありがとう❗️
Very informative and educational video, thanks
After paying my dues for ten years I started my corporate jet career by first flying a Dasault Falcon 20, then we stepped up to a Lockheed Jetstar II. Both designed in the 60s and built in the early 70s. That cockpit looks familiar.
Magnigique wow merci une beauté a voir
You are welcome and thank you
No cup holder ?
There’s room on the starboard panel 😉
wow that thing was worked... looks like my lathe.. earned it's keep.
Great video. ♡♡♡
Thank you
The Habu 👍
WOW!!!
It’s pretty special
This may sound silly but it looks so... mechanical...
A little more complex than my 1959 Ford Zephyr
Got it all except for the moving map display screen
Yes indeed. That’s the only thing missing from the RSO seat too.
Seems like a lot to keep up with.
I wonder what was below the HSI?
A map projector.
I expected something more complex inside!!!
Old school analog
Some of those switches are really far behind you in there. Did realize that.
They were hard to reach for the pilot wearing a pressure suit and gloves. The RSO knew them by heart, and could direct the pilot using voice to find the correct ones.
Where in the USA is displayed this airplane please ?
Answer: ___________, thanks a lot!
Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in Oregon USA
How come when I came there were no stairs available?
The stairs were setup for the Father’s Day Symposium. They have since been removed.
If you come in 2025 for the next one, you will be able to climb up there and sit in both seats 👍
Don’t make ‘em like they used to
Non sembra possibile che questo aereo ha 60 anni.
Where?
Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum
engineers were crazy, why so many dials, buttons and gauges, either you read the big measurements like in a laboratory or you fly the plane, not both
A lot going on to make that bird fly. Some gauges only become useful at speed and altitude, while others become obsolete at the same time. Lots of things to keep track of though.
great video - but please remove that awful music. What is the point of it?
The point of it, all my videos revolve around accompanying music, and this particular song is the USAF theme song.
I agree, it’s not my favorite, but I really made this video as a tribute to the aircraft, and I thought it fitting to use their theme song from the period for it 👍
