Now that's a Rudder
The massive, brand new
rudder weighs almost 1,000 pounds. It is plastic and
composite and has one of the first radar absorbant
paints. The SR-71 has two of these huge vertical
stabilizers, mounted 2/3 of the way back on a spindle.
Our rudder displays the SR-71 serial number 17953, the
tail number our Pacific Coast Air Museum member, the
late Colonel Joe Rogers ejected safely out of in 1969
over Death Valley. It also bears the Beale Air Force
Base 9th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing patch, the patch
of our other SR-71 pilot, former 9th SRW Wing Commander
and Pacific Coast Air Museum Executive Director, Colonel
Dave Pinsky.
