Yeah, That's me...
As far as I know I'm one of a very few civilians to ever put on an SR71/U2 space suit. I got my chance while shooting a story on the SR at Beale Air Force Base for KRON-TV. I just happen to be the same size as Major Mack Hornbaker, the Reconnaissance Officer. We spent one week at Beale with Mack and his partner, pilot Rich Judson, doing the story. It was a privilege to hang out with those guys. To watch a video of the crew getting into their suits click here.
