There was a weekly half hour TV show in the late 50's or early 60's about the Blue Angels, that was the aircraft they used.
I would have watched every show, along with Sky King, and Steve Canyon.

60 years ago today. A legend was born.

The first Lockheed SR-71A, 61-7950, takes off for the first time at Air Force Plant 42, Palmdale, California, 22 December 1964. An F-104 Starfighter follows as chase.
