Brian has told that story for years. Sometimes the speeds given vary a few knots, but the story is the same. He's an excellent speaker and a really nice guy to talk to. I recommend his books highly, especially the second one he did on the SR-71, The Untouchables. It has more detail than Sled Driver and deals with the actual missions he flew for Reagan back in 1986 (I think) when we needed to screw with Libya a little bit. He has a deal where he'll sell you both books for about $500. Sounds expensive, until you price a used example of Sled Driver on eBay and consider that the newest editions have lots more content and are printed in a horizontal format, which allows the photos to be bigger and better. I talked to him about a week ago and he still had some in inventory. He prints a run every so often, when they are gone, they're gone.
Great guy, I recommend you check out his videos if you haven't ever seen him speak somewhere.
