Spy Planes of Groom Lake, on C-SPAN
If you're in the mood for one hour and forty-eight minutes of hangar-flying tales, I have a link for you.
C-SPAN aired a panel discussion called "Spy Planes of Groom Lake" (streaming video available). On 7 October at the Atomic Testing Museum, pilots and engineers who were involved with the secret U-2, A-12, and SR-71 programs in the 1950s and 1960s at "Area 51" (and other bases around the world) talk about, well, stuff they haven't been allowed to talk about. I found it fascinating.
The veterans belong to Roadrunners Internationale, "Preserving the history of the aviation pioneers and programs that developed the U-2, A-12 and YF-12 during the Cold War. The high water marks of aeronautical development."
