Outrun the Thunder by John Shaw

At the Blackbird Reunion, held in Reno, Nevada, on 5-8 June 2003, former SR-71 Blackbird pilots and RSO’s autographed a new print just released by artist John Shaw. Titled, “Outrun The Thunder,” the print depicts Blackbird #972 at the end of the runway at Kadena AB, Okinawa, Japan. The cockpit crew, maintenance crew chief, and his assistants are going over the aircraft’s “last chance inspection” just prior to takeoff on an operational reconnaissance mission. This is a “must have” print for the true SR-71 Blackbird fan!
