Anyway, some years ago I purchased Brian Shul's books on the Sled. Shul was very lucky to survive a T-28 crash in Vietnam and went on to fly the Sled and was the only one of 93 Sled drivers to take a camera up with him on occasion. So, his photos are rather unique. Please if you have the remotest interest in the Sled do watch this video of Brian giving a talk on the Sled. Shul is a excellent motivational speaker. Not a bad effort going from almost dying of his injuries to doing Mach 3.5 over Libya once! He finishes with his famous ground speed check story.

Some of Shul's incredible photos.
