ODDS STACKED IN MANGOLD'S FAVOUR from Red Bull Air Race News
Mike Mangold has a thing about odd numbers. The American ace won the Red Bull Air Race World Championship in both of the last two odd years (2005 and 2007), he was born in an odd year (1955), is one of 3 children, moved to California at age 3, and he even has an odd number painted on his plane (11). Some of his rivals might say Mangold has an odd way of flying as well.

SR-71 time at Duxford I.W.M. from AirshowEuro by WireFox
On the 8th of March, Whilst visiting Duxford I.W.M.
American hangar, was 'treated to a rare sight in the form of an ex SR-71 Squadron Commander
Colonel Richard. H. Graham, who was there to give a 'talk' on his days as a 'sledge-driver'. Love every minute of the talk and his shots of nearly being in space. We found him very polite and not shy at all to answer questions which came at the end of the talk. If you get the chance to see him please do so. He told of how to get more comfortable in that space-suit, being using a valve on the side of his suit. Also the way to get rid of a 'nose itch' was to use a food tube to scratch his nose. It can and was done. The highest he went up in a Blackbird was 87,000 feet unless I mis-heard him. The Blackbird flights never went over Soviet airspace, more on the borders of that Country. And they don't leak fuel big-time like one statement had suggested.
Nice guy and glad we went.
