Having already read this account I chortled to myself after watching Tom Gun's Maverick...
Deleted after people crying spoiler but an event within the first 10 mins seems like a bit of a stretch.

- geocrasher 4y agoI watched this movie just a couple of nights ago, and I have to admit that this looks very plausible. At the same time, this very SR-71 breakup story may be the inspiration for the Darkstar breakup, considering that Lockheed Martin was involved in the production.
- racnid 4y agoI hate the "it was all a dream" take. You see it for literally every movie and it's a completely lazy way to analyze a film. I like this idea better; that maybe, just maybe, they took inspiration from a real life event where the pilot did survive. There's numerous stories from the 50's and 60's of pilots landing in farmers fields having ejected from their disintegrated aircraft.
