    This will be the airplane of the year for whatever year it comes out. Hopefully we get it in 2024 and I cannot wait to fly it in the sim.

    This was my dads favorite aircraft during his career in the Air Force. 1969 - 1989 I cant wait to fly this beauty in honor of my father. Rest in peace dad.

    wow! this is absolutely incredible modeling and details! the sr71 has always been special to me. i stood next to one many years ago, and it was such a humbling experience to be in the presence of something that looks like it came from another world and knowing that humans built it. a truly spectacular piece of engineering, and i cant wait to fly if myself, even in a simulator. awesome job you guys❤

    I’ve been waiting impatiently on this!! It looks absolutely spectacular!! PLEASE for the love of everything I’m BEGGING release this on Xbox also. I had the privilege of seeing one at Wright Patt last year. I would love to fly the skies in the baddest bird ever created!

      I asked if it would be coming to Xbox a couple years ago. Krazycolin said as long as WASM came to Xbox, then yes. As you probably know, WASM has since come to Xbox, so I believe we will indeed be getting the SR-71!

    Wow, the memories! RAF Mildenhall,UK 1982-1990 provided security for this beautiful aircraft daily. Every time it flew it was a jaw dropper to see. It leaked like a sieve while taxing but sealed in flight. 😂😂 And when it returned traffic would stop just to watch it land. Loved it then and your model looks absolutely gorgeous. Great attention to detail!. The air shows were always packed just to see this beauty on display and fly. Awesome, thanks for the memories!

      @@Chris-qw1mf "Someone misinterpreted a state of sim comment to have it out 2025 Christmas" That is almost verbatim what was said in the state of sim, Colin said "We're hoping for a Christmas [pause, hand wave] 2025 release, it will definitely be going into 2024 probably not into 2020", if he missed an "Or" then he miss-spoke, not a miss-interpretation, especially considering the comment about not making it for 2020 would mean they would have less than 2 months of official time to develop for the new sim if they aren't allowed to develop in the dev build they have. 6:50 in the SoS video.

    I am extremely excited for this one. How arw you planning to implement the air refueling with the tanker being in the mission? Will we be able to set where the tanker is, and its flight path, or how will that work?
    In DCS the tankers all transmit a tacan beacon so you can find them, I assume the tanker for the SR71 will too. I am just wondering how we would set the mission up for a flight.
