NASA appears to be pulling its SR-71 Blackbird, the fastest production plane ever made, out of retirement as the Trump administration teases its new line of hypersonic surveillance jets — but doubt…
Seeing Blackbird fly again after all these years would be incredible. I’d love to know what NASA has planned for it.
It was originally the RS-71, for “reconnaissance/strike”. (source)
Also, don’t forget about the closely-related YF-12 interceptor.
