" As a final assignment in his career, Shul volunteered for and was selected to fly the SR-71. This assignment required an astronaut-type physical just to qualify, and Shul passed with no waivers. Shul's comeback story, from lying near dead in the jungle of Southeast Asia to later flying the world's fastest, highest flying jet, has been the subject of numerous magazine articles. Shul also made an Air Force safety video titled "Sierra Hotel" (with the title referring to the phonetic alphabet code for the military aviator slang expletive "Shit Hot") where he described his crash ordeal in explicit detail in order to motivate other USAF pilots to be more safety conscious and teaching them how to better survive such incidents. [" (from Wikipedia) "Col Watson was the first and only African American to qualify as a crew member in the nation s highest and fastest flying operational jet aircraft, the SR-71 Blackbird. The SR-71 routinely operated at speeds in excess of Mach 3 (2,000 mph +) at altitudes above 85,000 feet in hostile airspace." (From Gathering of Eagles Foundation); Signed by All Authors.
