      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 ...

    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.

      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

    I'll get lots of dislikes for this but that's fine. This plane is WAY BEYOND amazing - and so is the piloting. I can't begin to imagine how much this air machine cost or how hard it is to fly. Now then.. my pet peeve has reared it's ugly head again: the LEDs in the exhaust. Flickering LEDs. Come on... on a model of this magnitude, I can't stop feeling that they completely cheapen the experience of watching it fly. It's almost... insulting. I suppose the plane owner wouldn't like this comment, but that's fine. Awesome vid! I just couldn't watch it to completion this time. 5 thumbs up if I could regardless!

    • @DHC8100

      N8NK QRP the LEDs seem to be flickering due to the camera. Very common to see this in videos. It’s also common practice to use LEDs to simulate afterburners. They unfortunately do not show up very good in videos. In real life the look much more convincing, and much more realistic as you see a nice glow rather then a flickering LED light ring.
