Blackbird Flight Crews

Photo Archive

The following is Page Two of a collection of Blackbird Flight Crews of the A-12, YF-12A and SR-71. The collection is by no means complete. Most USAF Habu Flight Crews were paired up, Pilot and RSO. They remained together throughout the tour of duty with the SR-71. There are some photos of VIP Flights included with the name of the Instructor Pilot. Contribution of Crew Photos is welcome.
