Aircraft #61-7959 first flew in 1966 and entered service with the 9th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing. In 1975 it was retrofitted with a nine foot long surveillance and electronic countermeasures boom. Although test flights were successful, the "Big Tail" modification program was canceled before being applied to other aircraft. #61-7959 last flew on October 29th, 1976 and is currently on display at the Air Force Armament Museum at Eglin AFB, Florida.
Designed as a long-range, strategic reconnaissance aircraft, The Lockheed SR-71 first flew on December 22, 1964. Nicknamed "The Blackbird," this highly-advanced aircraft was believed by many to be ahead of its time. It was capable of mach 3 and still holds the record for the fastest "air breathing manned aircraft" in the world. Its speed and ability to operate at high altitudes served as a defensive feature; when attacked by surface-to-air missiles, the pilot needed only to accelerate to avoid being struck. Only 32 SR-71's were operated during its 34-year service history, and though 12 were destroyed in accidents none were lost to enemy attack. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
