Even though it's readily available these days, he says there are still 8-10 pages that are flat out missing due to certain information STILL being classified.
The blackbird is near 50 years old now and was built using technology of the time. It's been retired for almost 15 years now. I find it amazing that there is info about it that is still not suitable for public knowledge.

With that being said, and knowing how simple everyday technology has evolved over the past 5 decades, I cannot possibly imagine what's being created today in the military/top secret realm.

Another fun fact was that he wouldn't directly answer my question about whether or not he operated out of Groom Lake. (even though that info is factual these days)
