We had the honor of interviewing Bert Garrison, the last SR-71 pilot for the US Air Force. He also went hands-on with the new E-flite SR-71 Blackbird Twin 40mm EDF [EFL02050]! And while it was at much less than the Mach 3.2 he flew at in the REAL SR-71, Bert gives us his thoughts on this new release from E-flite!

Ugh. Just seeing the profile in the sky for one of the most iconic aircraft of all time is worth the price of admission. Kelly Johnson will always be a legend.
I’m in. Take my money!
This is outstanding! The A Okay from a legendary SR-71 pilot like Bert and the fact that the first two shipments have sold out says all that needs to be said! Great job Horizon! Big and full featured or small and simple...there is something for everyone and you guys get that. So does Bert...imagine that.
Spot-on!!
You are such legend Bert. Great to see you here. Big salute from Slovenia, Pilot Robert
Bert is such a cool and down to earth dude. He is at a lot of RC events, if you see him make sure to say Hi :)
Oh my God!!! This is sooo coool~~~~❤❤❤❤❤ HorizonHobby never disappoint me in these 15 years!!🎉❤😊
Great job everyone . Having Berts blessings is about the best commendation I can think of .
That gentleman has to have some amazing stories, great interview I love listening to retired military pilots share their stories, they never disappoint! 👍🏼
Very cool that you have flown the real SR-71 Blackbird !!!!!!!!!!
Bert is very cool and an awesome guy :)
Awesome! I have an SR-71 plane tag .. I love it .. to touch something that has gone Mach 3 is amazing ..
Thanks Bert and Horizon for sharing this great life story and inspiring RC newcomers!
What an amazing plane. I’m glad to see some new products. I do wish you guys would bring another cub back.
Bert is the man!! Great guy with a lot of stories!! Great to see this!
Very cool! If anyone knows how an SR-71 should fly, it is this gentleman 👊🏻💥👊🏻
This is beyond cool! Great job Horizon!
I'm going to get one, but it's going to sit on my shelf.
Nothing wrong with that!! It looks awesome in the air...and even more amazing up close!
Can’t wait to meet Bert next week!! He will be at a rc flying club im attending a fly in at!
Literally a video that nobody can throw hate towards Horizon Hobby over!
I just bought one today and I looking forward to fly it!
When someone comes out with a dual 70 or 80mm EDF model, I'll be buying. This 40mm dual EDF is nice but I'll wait.
what a cool guy - great segment - makes me want to get a slowfly 🤭
Man this is so cool
😎
Should have mine before this weekend 😊
Best of luck with it Vic . 👍🏼🤠
@@PhilipCockram thank you Philip 👊 I know many want to see if it is worth it or not. Seeing a experienced pilot fly it should help them deside.
@@victorrcjets7660 Yes I agree . Bert explained the flight characteristics very well I thought .
And as he said , we have Timbers if we want to fly slow . 👍🏼🤠
@@PhilipCockram I have a little Timber X to play with too but mostly DON'T fly slow!
This is so cool and retro. Just like an airwolf RC from horizon would be..... Just saying
I want an Air Wolf from Blade!
@@gblyndensrandomreviews me three! ;)
Very cool Bert!
Wow
My first was in 1977. A Cox .049 Cessna one channel. It was useless, preset elevator, controllable nose gear and rudder. Into chain link fence first flight, couldn't gain altitude. Was in the air for less than 30 seconds, total loss !
I WAS HOOKED !
Hey Bert, if you crash it I'll tell mom LOL
Haha Jeremy!
Bring back the TWIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bought the last 2 I could find in my region.
I imported this plane 3 years ago, a long with the F4F. I still haven't been able to sell it.
Did the wind screen really get too hot to touch? Boy if you brake the model you will really get it. Great to see you.
he might have just sold me the T-28... hire the man! I mean, I've been thinking about it for a bit soooo there's that but yeah.
Bert definitely knows his stuff and we know you'll love the Carbon-Z T-28 too!
Super... This is Awesomeness.. Sad that Jet would cost alot in SA.. Otherwise i would buy
When will e-flite bring some fiberglass kit. Like the F4, the Sabre and Habu 32. I’m tired of all these foam planes. Nice sr-71 tho
Why did they make it so small? I am sure it would be hard to see.
The SR-71 Blackbird and F-14 Tomcat Twin 40mm EDF models are sized to be more affordable and practical for a wider audience to own and fly! Please keep in mind not everyone can afford more complex/expensive models...nor do they have the space to fly a larger model in and/or a suitable surface to fly it from. We also include a set of optional-use red vertical fins you can install on the SR-71 for improved visibility/orientation, as seen in this video: czcams.com/video/AtMCmGZlv50/video.html
Where's the gear flight?
You can see it fly with the gear installed in parts of this video: czcams.com/video/AtMCmGZlv50/video.htmlsi=nisdUwdEqBvH1xQj
They should of shown A3X as opposed to showing pilots...
I hope you guys mailed one of these to Elon Musk !
No retracts, no deal,,,,,,,,,,,
The SR-71 Blackbird and F-14 Tomcat Twin 40mm EDF models are sized to be more affordable and practical for a wider audience to own and fly! They're a bit too small to be equipped with retracts (they do have removable landing gear though!), and we understand that may disappointing to some. But please keep in mind not everyone can afford more complex/expensive models...nor do they have the space to fly a larger model in and/or a suitable surface to fly it from. That said, we also understand some people would still prefer larger, more complex, and expensive versions of these models. And if this class of model sells well in this particular subject matter, we will definitely consider offering such larger and more complex models in the future!
