I smell a high priced military spec

modification service being offered by APL.

Say $1500 to modify your sr-71a.

Actually a pair of the appropriately rated CRD's or fets wired for

same would

be better than either diodes, or resistors.

First of all, sir, my bird is not the A bird, but the original badass, let's

all please get that straight. So it'll cost even more to mod, say, $2k.

At least..

And if you mean Current Regulating Diodes, I'll top your CRDs with

mine: Control Rod Drives used in the NUCULAR industry. Eh, how's

that?

Spare no badass expense, sez ai!

NUCULAR

isn't that how george bush spells it....

It certainly is how he pronounces it...

Indeed. James Caan does a great impression of it in the movie Get Smart.
