Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird

The Lockheed SR-71 was an advanced, long-range, Mach 3 strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed from the Lockheed A-12 and YF-12A aircraft by the Lockheed Skunk Works. The SR-71 was unofficially named the Blackbird, and called the Habu by its crews. Clarence "Kelly" Johnson was responsible for many of the design's innovative concepts. A defensive feature of the aircraft was its high speed and operating altitude, whereby, if a surface-to-air missile launch were detected, standard evasive action was simply to accelerate. The SR-71 line was in service from 1964 to 1998, with 12 of the 32 aircraft being destroyed in accidents, though none were lost to enemy action.

@Davechop54 ..Watching the Habu touch down, the A/C truly does take on the appearance of a hooded corba, a good example of this see vid @ 2:29, then you'll understand the name Habu, which is a black colored corba that lives on Okinawa...THX

@juandenz2008 I would think it's just that if you're married, it shows you can be mature in a lot of ways. Plus, it shows they can be respectful to one another, and handle the relationship of pilot/co-pilot.
