SR-71A #61-7964 rolled off the production line on January 19, 1966 and first flew on 1st May 1966. It was subsequently assigned to the 9th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing at Beale AFB, CA. The SR-71 program was officially cancelled in 1990 and the majority of airframes were prepared for a life as static display pieces in museums around the United States. #964 made its final flight on March 20, 1990 when it was delivered Offutt AFB, Nebraska. Having accumulated a total of 3,373.1 flight hours, this airframe had the third highest flight hours of the whole SR-71 fleet. It now hangs in the foyer of the Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museum at Ashland, Nebraska.

Lockheed SR-71A Blackbird

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.
