shul

Shul was an SR-71 pilot, and the book is about 10% Shul and 90% SR-71.

Here is a link to another story, which talks about the slowest Shul ever flew the SR-71.

It's a shame that the book that this story came from - Sled Driver by Brian Shul - is out of print.

The area around Breed Street Shul became a center for the Jewish community.

But I guarantee 'influence' wouldn't come up - that's not at all why we have our shul.

I’m not a particularly sentimental person but hearing the following from Shul has stuck with me and feels like an appropriate reminder for today.

As to Shul being removed from the program, have never heard that -- I'm not likely to take the word of some random on the internet about it.

Doesn't Brian Shul talk about the time Regan had them fly figure 8s over some foreign city during negotiations just to remind them with the sonic booms that we can touch them?

It's as regular as it is because pilots, and especially military pilots, are trained to maintain a very strong radio discipline, and also (as Brian Shul notes in Sled Driver, his SR-71 memoir) because as a point of personal and cultural pride everyone wants to sound like Chuck Yeager on the radio.

Reading Brian Shul's "Sled Driver" autobiography on the tablet.

Actually it's "uh-voyd youz-ing in so-shul si-tu-a-shuns"

The word is "tsore" not "sore", "shul" has meant school in Yiddish for a long time and not exclusively synagogue, and "und" is German and not Yiddish.

I think that's an excerpt from Brian Shul's 1994 book Sled Driver: Flying the World's Fastest Jet.

This and other stories are in a book Sled Driver by Brian Shul.

I have an autographed copy of Brian Shul's book, which is the origin of it.
