He was a SR maintainer at Mildenhall probably about the time you arrived there and then retired. Attends most if not all the Blackbird reunions.
Thought you might know him. Very dear friend and former supervisor.
It's a small world, but no I don't remember him. The only contact we had with the SR-71 program, was to provide flight weather briefings for the air refueling corridors. They were provided special weather briefings in a vault classified as top secret, rather than just at the base weather desk. The SR had to be refueled immediately after takeoff, to have enough of that special rocket fuel (JP-7) for their high altitude missions.
