I do own a nice mahogany 10" decimal trig type slide rule, I've seriously thought about getting proficient with it and whipping it out mid exam in front of an appropriately aged prof.

I brought a slide rule to a third year physics exam in about 1995. The prof was delighted.

If you like the SR-71, then you have to check out Project Habu. Seeing them without their paint is really awesome!

Oh hey. I knew the airframes had to be able to stretch in flight from heat stress. Always kinda wondered how they managed that, what with titanium not being all that stretchy. Now I see how...Great googly moogly them fellers knew how to fabricate...
