- Retired United States Air Force Major Brian Shul was the featured speaker at the 2018 Great Alaska Aviation Gathering in Anchorage, AK. He was a pilot of the formerly Top Secret SR-71 Blackbird aircraft. The title of his speech was: "The Speed of Life: Perseverance and Triumph Over Tragedy."
This is a copy of the text from the aviation gathering's website:
"A highly motivating, humorous, and fascinating talk that covers some of Mr. Shul's experiences from lying near death on a jungle floor in Vietnam, to flying the world's fastest jet, the SR-71. He also talks about his present day photography and the books he has authored. Coupled with Mr. Shul's breathtaking slides taken in flight, and his philosophical views on life, this is an unforgettable presentation for all in attendance.
Brian Shul is a Vietnam War-era attack pilot and a retired major in the United States Air Force (USAF). He flew 212 combat missions and was shot down near the end of the war. He was so badly burned that he was given next to no chance to live. Surviving, he returned to full flight status, flying the SR-71 Blackbird. Major Shul completed a 20-year career in the Air Force. He has written four books on aviation and runs a photo studio in California."

I just clicked on the LA Speed Story Video and now I am sitting here watching Videos from Brian Shul all evening long. What an awesome life...
Tim Tom - He is a charismatic fellow. I enjoyed talking to him afterwards.
TMB Official same here, I’ve always been a huge military history buff and his stories are awesome. I can’t get enough
I think I'm in the same youtube hole, what do I click next? lol
amazing how 2000 knotts sounds so much faster than 1997 Knotts,.
@@2manycatsforadime you
I could listen to him talk for hours on end. He is an amazing story teller. Very engaging, very entertaining.
Thanks, “HvyMetal4Ever” - I enjoyed listening to him as well. Talking with him at the book signing was great as well. If you look at his website, you can see when and where he will be speaking in the future.

Wow what admiration i have for Brian Shul and his life. I can't stop watching all the vidios and the SR 71
This man is a single-handed public relations firm for American aviation history. Wish high school classes had been this interesting. I would've done my homework for sure.
Every single person involved with the SR-71 program I've heard give a talk has been awesome, but Brian Shul is one of the best.
Brian Shul RIP, Blue Skies!!! God Bless You Sir! You will be missed!
He is a legendary hero for sure... Thank you ...
The "Slowest" story is my favorite of his. A truly inspiring guy.
Same
Someone needs to make a movie about his story.
Justin DeMatteo - I totally agree, Justin. = ) 😺😃
So awesome to hear the stories of the SR-71 being told by the pilots who flew them. I'm proud to say I've touched two
Very cool. One day I'll make it to one of the places they have them displayed... One day...
Rob, when were the two times you touched them? Were they displays at a museum or an air show? 2018Sep19Wed 13:10:41 AKST
Tucson has one on display at its air & space museum. You can stand under it and touch it.
Tanner Cryden - Time to visit Tucson! = )
If you're into aviation and or aerospace I highly recommend checking it out. You can also take a tour of the boneyard on Davis Monthan AFB.
thanks for posting. Didn't intend to, but I watched the whole thing. What a great man. And great stories.
How come they never did a movie about this guy?So inspiring.America was blessed with a generation of men like this. Where are they now?Seeing trump as president of the most powerful country in the world .., I ask myself what the devil went wrong?
Luisglock Gomes : Maybe I should get a few people together to write up questions to ask him and make our own documentary about him... Good question, LG! - 2019Mar20Wed 00:14:28 AKST
Because we don't know real Hero's anymore we have to see movies about make believe super heros.
Truly engrossing story.
This is the second recording of this I’ve seen. It’s a shame the first part of the story was missing
Name at Random - Yea, a shame, but only about two minutes missing. My apologies.
Yep, and that one had decent audio, not this awful version. Unfortunately it's been deleted :(
"Live life fearlessly..", Brian you are awesome!!!
This guy is phenomenal!!!
Brian - thank You, that You are there to share those stories! Live long and prosper on a full burner :D
"Don't miss the moment..." Brian Shul
totally inspiring man. Where eagles dare
I didn’t see any F-15 Eagles 🦅 there. Great gathering, though.
One word..HERO.
Agreed. Totally.
"You're the spy, I'm just the driver", lmao
saw one still leaking fuel at age 12. At age 12, i heard some guy say, "for such an aircraft you think they would make it not leak" 12 year old me said, Its by design, moron"
Well said, 12-yr old Zues!
Superb
Denis Goulet - Agreed, sir. Please share the link with others. = )
Enjoyed the article
LA Speed Check is legendary story, but I would love to see a video of that stall speed flyby over RAF base.
Legend right there
I want this book. Can anyone tell me how I can get a copy of it, please.
Awesome!
I went to Duxford imperial war museum last year and they have one there. The only one outside the USA
All the times I seen the SR-71 I wonder if it was the A-12. Does not matter it is too late now. So...is the A-12 still classified?
Every time one of those beautiful planes took off I would point up. Not sure if I could be seen. Only a few hundred feet away. I still would like to know who was flying the one that had to be carried away on 2 flat beds. Tire or landing gear. I was there. Coming in from the Ocean.
SAC is in left. MAC is on right just pass the C5 on the side. We had to drive in fron that way.
Are any SR-71 pilots coming to Minneapolis MN any time soon?
YOU.... CAN........DO IT !!!
Real life maverick
