KVI's Kirby Wilbur, substituting today for morning host, John Carlson, eulogizes the incredible story of SR-71 Blackbird pilot Brian Shul, who died last week after suffering a heart attack at age 75. He joined the Air Force in 1970 and became an attack pilot during the Vietnam War, flying 212 combat missions. His story of being selected to fly the secretive SR-71 is monumental because of the injuries he over-came after crashing badly in combat aircraft in SE Asia. Kirby proceeds to discuss another story about the election of a new mayor in Philadelphia that provides a glimmer of hope for WA (and King County) future elections.
