Meeting Speaker for November 26, 2012 - Brian Shul

Brian Shul (born 1948), is a Vietnam-era USAF fighter pilot and a retired major in the United States Air Force (USAF). He flew 212 combat missions and was shot down near the end of the war. He was so badly burned that he was given next to no chance to live. Surviving, he returned to full flight status, flying the SR-71 Blackbird. Major Brian Shul completed a 20 year career in the Air Force and retired in 1990. He has authored seven books on aviation and flight photography. Brian Shul owns Gallery One, a photo studio in northern California, and divides his time between writing, photography, public speaking, and backpacking in the high Sierras.

The Rotary meeting presentation will include an impressive slide show of photos taken from the cockpit of the worlds fastest airplane.
