I feel ya!
Did you grow up in the US? If so, did you ever watch the show “wings” on the discovery channel? It used to be part of my after school lineup, right along with shows like saved by the bell. I used to argue with friends in the schoolyard about which jet was the best, between Migs, Sukhois, and the NATO jets.
I miss that show. My first website (on tripod) was even about the SR-71 and the F-117.

Quite possibly---though I can neither confirm nor deny---that is how I got proper wind of the Black Bird. I just saw that YouTube has the episode... and, looks like it features Brian Shul.
- atonse 3y agoThe Discovery channel was truly amazing in the 90s. So was TLC. They used to show actual surgeries on TLC and explain what they were doing. And the History channel too was great. They all had tons of great shows. I have a tough time seeing all the reality and alien conspiracy theory nonsense on there these days.
