    I had the privilege of working around the SR-71 in my early USAF career. I was on Okinawa where we called it the “Habu” named after the local snake. I used to park my work vehicle on the flight line just a few hundred yards away from the aircraft. The process to launch the SR is very complicated and scripted down to the minute.
    When it’s ready to roll a chase car halls down the runway in advance to look for any FOD or any possible people that could be lurking to get a great picture. It stops at the end and the SR takes the active runway and lights off the afterburners which shoots a 30’ flame out the back. Everything for a mile begins to shake and rattle. It’s an awesome spectacle to behold. One of the really neat things is to follow behind it as it taxis. The heat moving off the engines literally makes the plane invisible. You can see through the waves to the other side the aircraft is seemingly gone.

      I used to be a Line Service Technician and I got a little smile when I saw the acronym FOD (Foreign Object Debris) So one of the things I used to do to the new line techs was send them on an errand to get a bucket of Prop Wash and some flight line from the hangar. Most of the time they'd run off and me and the other line techs would have a giggle. It was all fun an games. Anyway, it made me think of my days as a Line Service Technician.

      no it was surpassed in 57 with the arrow ... and they cancelled that because the U2 was no match and the sr71 was JUST its equal BUT couldnt shoot anything ... 70 years and the arrow design specification is STILL not satisfied ... not even the 3 f35 variants NOR the f22 nor the f18 ... think about that ... the sr71 primary operating altitude was 60,000 feet below 40,000 it was was not good to fly supersonic ... while the arrow was good (as designed) to handle it all at supersonic ...
      .
      before you say the arrow never had a weapons system ... dont forget the arrow guys made the sparrow Missile system WORK ... and it is still in use today ... and that was after the americans couldnt get it to work and were going to scrap it ...

    Awesome RC scale jet. I love the Blackbird, been fascinated with it my whole life. I own a much less complicated version, but still, comes in sat over 4 ft. long. Instead is powered by turbofan bladed LiPO battery fed engines.
    Great looking build, and flying in front of a crowd guys, always tough to do.

      I built one too out of Dollar Tree foamboard and balsa with dual 70mm EDFs. But it only flew off grass twice. It was underpowered for grass runways and wouldn't get airborne without max runway and dry ground, dead grass. I gave the airframe away after not flying it for 2 years. Great modeling here with this one.

    I personally have watched “The Habu” SR-71 Blackbird fly in and out of a certain island in the far east. Go Air Force
    That part where the plane cuts and goes straight up is like the real thing too. Really brought back memories of Vietnam. And good memories too.

      I was lucky enough at a Mildenhall airshow back in the 1980s to go inside the open hanger with my young son. It was just sitting there with the cockpits open. Totally alone we climbed the steps up to look into the cockpit. Everything was black! all the dials etc and a it was a tiny cramped space! The fuselage paintwork looked like old dusty velvet but with a strange texture when I stroked it. We were in awe of this futuristic flying machine and it was so beautiful. Ive never forgotten it or talking to it and we were the only two people in there. No one else was around. Recently I have met this blackbird again at Duxford where he is now housed on permenant display, being the same one that was at Mildenhall. I am so thrilled to have found him again. I've loved this beauty since that day back at Mildenhall when my son and I chatted to him. ❤ Xx

    In 1965, while TWA passengers flew leisurely to LA, the SR-71 Blackbird raced at over five times their speed, known only to Skunk Works. This supersonic marvel remained hidden from the public eye, redefining the limits of aviation with its clandestine speed.

    These Kind Aircraft models that Are flown remotely Is Just Amazing ! Aircraft Carriers Should Carry About 25 Of These Aircraft On board to make the enemy piss away their Missiles And distract the Enemy Can You imagine 100 of these flying around during a combat mission ? I don’t think A Missile could hit one of these little Monsters ! I Truly Believe That This Kind Of Aircraft Could make the Enemies Piss Away A lot of million Dollar missiles ! And I doubt They Could Even Hit one !

    I'll bet the Skunkworks are really jealous, considering the fly-by-wire controls the real SR-71 has because it flies on the edge of instability to be stealthy and fast.

    I don't believe aliens have ever visited us, nor will we ever visit them. Space is too vast.
    Yet the SR-71 is _the most alien man-made construct_ I've ever seen, it baffles the mind how this thing was being developed in the 1940s when steam engines were still widely in use.
