Another Blackbird story from Pilots of America Message Board
... As a former SR-71 pilot, and a professional keynote speaker, the question I'm most often asked is "How fast would that SR-71 fly?" I can be assured of hearing that question several times at any event I attend. It's an interesting question, given the aircraft's proclivity for speed, but there really isn't one number to give, as the jet would always give you a little more speed if you wanted it to. It was common to see 35 miles a minute. Because we flew a programmed Mach number on most missions, and never wanted to harm the plane in any way, we never let it run out to any limits of temperature or speed. Thus, each SR-71 pilot had his own individual "high" speed that he saw at some point on some mission. I saw mine over Libya when Khadafy fired two missiles my way ...

Ford narrates story of Flight 1549 ditching - Aviation eBrief
The successful ditching of US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River in January 2009 launched Capt. Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger into the national spotlight for his skill and aplomb getting all 155 on board to safety. A year later, "Brace for Impact: The Chesley B. Sullenberger Story" will retrace the flight and the critical decision Sullenberger made to put the Airbus A320 down in the Hudson. The actions of Sullenberger and the flight's first officer, Jeffrey Skiles, offer lessons that general aviation pilots can take to heart. The program, narrated by actor and GA Serves America spokesman Harrison Ford, will air on TLC Jan. 10. Check the listings.
Highest Duty (Capt. Sully's Book) from From the Flight Deck
Just finished Captain Sullenberger's book. For those aviation enthusiasts, it's a must read! Sometimes he pours it on a little too thick about being a family man, devoted husband, and with the military having second to none training, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It takes awhile, actually about 200 pages into the book, until he talks about the incident but I can't falter him since the entire flight lasted just over five minutes.
As I read, I kept thinking...
