If you like stuff like this goto Oshkosh WI for the EAA Air Show. They have forums you can go to, where a few years ago one was on the SR-71 and friends. A few of the pilots were there talking about what exactly is was like to fly one of those.
One of the cool things about that plane was that its stall speed was very close to the top speed of the air refueling planes. The are flying pitch up during refueling to keep from falling out of the sky. Very hair raising.
