About This Item

BLACKBIRD.jpg


Unofficially nicknamed the "Blackbird," the SR-71 was developed as a long-range strategic reconnaissance aircraft capable of flying at speeds over Mach 3.2 and at an altitude of 85,000 feet. The first SR-71 to enter service was delivered in 1966 and due to politics, it was retired in 1990. However, the USAF still kept a few SR-71s in operation up until 1998, after a few were brought back to service in 1995.

The aircraft flew so fast and so high that if the crew detected a surface-to-air missile launch, the standard evasive action was simply to accelerate.

NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC) at Edwards AFB, CA flew the SR-71 from 1991 until the program was cancelled in late 2001.

Dropped this one in Spenceville Wildlife Area, near Beale AFB. Planes fly over this spot all the time, so it seemed fitting.
