Hey, just two simple words: Martin Rusk (sp).

(the kid who flew the cessna 172 into moscow in the 80's)

How is that for a answer????

This is supposed to prove that a propeller driven craft is a better spy
plane than the SR-71?

I don't follow your logic here.

If you want to take photos or made some electronic survey, you may be
right about SR-71, but you don't need anymore since the effective use of
spy satellites. But if you want carry and drop something (human, etc.)
what can you do with a SR-71? Parachuting it while cruising at an
altitude around 100,000 feet, at a speed around 3.5 mach?..:-)

His logic is completely true here, since from the beginning of the
thread, since people here are talking about delivering something, not
surveying.

Not a better spy plane, but way better spy carrying plane, I
suppose..:-)

(...) If we're going to start talking about dropping people off, then why not just use a UH-60 in its Special Ops configuration? ~Mark (24 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
