SR-71 pilot, photographer and storyteller Brian Shul dies at 75

The aviation world has lost one of its brightest luminaries. Major Brian Shul was an incredible survivor and a top gun pilot – but also a gifted photographer and storyteller, whose stories about the extraordinary SR-71 Blackbird will live forever.

Bummer! I bought his book Sled Driver that I think either from the National Air and Space Museum, or possibly the USAF Museum in Dayton, back in the 90s at some point. I'm pretty sure I gave it away to a book donation place six or seven years ago no realizing it is worth about $350 on the used market!

RIP, he was a great writer and photographer besides all the "real" work he had to do.

He will definitely be missed.
