2.0 out of 5 stars SR-71 Blackbird Story, October 10, 2008

This review is from: SR-71 Blackbird (DVD)

The first copy I received was faulty, but Traditional Military Videos replaced it very quickly.

As an SR-71 Blackbird fan, I was extremely disappointed in the video's quality and poor story line. There are better videos in the marketplace and I'd suggest readers check them out over this version.

4.0 out of 5 stars DVD is exactly as described, January 17, 2012
