71

When I was in high school I had a friend whose mother had worked for Lockheed in the 1960s and was on the project for the SR-71 Blackbird. This was many years later and she wouldn't talk about any details because she was still concerned about security. The only thing she would say was that it was an amazing aircraft. That fact is undisputed. The SR-71 Blackbird still holds many world records that today's planes can't touch. To find the coordinates for this cache, read a little about the SR-71 and answer some simple questions.

The final location for this cache is: North 38 5A.BCD, West 96 1E.FGH.

A total of (CH) SR-71s were built.
It was first decided to retire the SR-71 in 19(G)9.
On July 28, 19(A)6 the SR-71 set an "absolute altitude" record by flying 85,(D)69 feet above sea level.
Designs for the SR-71 were based on it's predecessor aircraft, the A-(F)2.
The engine of the SR-71 was a Pratt & Whitney J(EB)-P4.
