Photos from the heights that these aircraft flew at would have been
amazing, I expect.  However, I don't think that the pilot would have been
allowed to take a camera with him.

At the sites I worked, the detachment commander (usually a light colonel, sometimes a bird) had a lot of discretion. They didn't allow this on mission flights, but would often do it on non-classified test flights.

Your "Control H" didn't come out.

That's because it was typed with my tongue, which was planted in my cheek at the time. :-)
