Even more fun when you listen to it: http://soundcloud.com/torrenegra/the-king-of-speed-sr-71

(This is one of my favorite stories ever. As such, I couldn't resist to get a professional voice to record it. I have tried to contact Brian Schul to transfer the ownership of the recording to him, but I have not been able to get a reply from him)

Wow, thank you for this - one of my favourite stories too. This is worthy of its own post in my opinion (Reddit would probably love it, too)

Edit: How much did it cost to get this done, and is the same voice actor still available? He did a really good job of capturing the ATC tone! I'd love to hear more sled stories read by him.

$70 or so in VoiceBunny.com. Disclaimer: I'm it's co-founder.

Is it possible to request the same voice actor that did the one you linked?

Awesome narration! Blackbird stories are always great. There is one of a Blackbird taking damage assesment photographs of Libya in 1986. There they were outrunning a SAM missile, the pilot said that its probably the time that the Blackbird was pushed to fly the fastest....
