@appliedsciencesaerospace: SR-71 Blackbird screaming through a low pass with the afterburners lit. 🔥✈️ Built for speed. Built for altitude. Still one of the most unreal aircraft ever put in the sky. #SR71 #Blackbird #USAF #MilitaryAviation #Aviation

I was born in 83. Tbh what’s wild to me is the first flight of the blackbird was almost 20 years before I was born.[Innocent]

Will Harbuck :

someone I found interesting, the very last SR-71 to fly was recently pulled out of storage and rumors are circulating that it may be put back into service. I hope that's true.
