I heard Brian Schul recount this story in the flesh in Reno once.
One hell of a presentation if you can get your hands on a copy of the whole video recording.

I just found it...

That clip is an oldie but it’s pure gold.
Got to visit two SR71s, in NY and in Washington, what a beautiful machine.

Loved the sr71. Used to watch it depart mildenhall back in the day. Used to know when it was leaving because 2 or 3 of the special kc135 used to leave first.
Watched it on night leave it literally light the night sky up .... unreal.
