🇺🇸WANT TO FLY THE SR-71? BETTER HAVE A WIFE AND KIDS The SR-71 Blackbird was the fastest, most top-secret jet on Earth - but if you wanted to fly it, Uncle Sam had one weird rule: you had to be a family man. Why? In 1976, Soviet pilot Viktor Belenko said “screw this,” hijacked his own MiG-25, and defected to Japan - gift-wrapping Soviet tech for the U.S. The Pentagon freaked. What if one of our guys pulled a Belenko with a $34M spy jet? So they made it simple: No spouse, no spy plane. Apparently, nuclear secrets are safest with a guy who’s got PTA meetings to get back to.
