I talked to a customer of ours that was a SR-71 pilot. He said the only time you really had a sensation of speed was going over the tops of a thunderstorm. Thunderstorms often were 60 to 70 thousand feet high and of course they just flew over them. Passing the clouds and mach 3 he said you felt like you were moving.
He said he had several missions where missiles were fired at him. He said it was a strange sight to see a streak coming his way from the ground. It was comforting to just pour on the power and outrun the missile.
