  • @1969vwdub ..The Habu had a 17 year period in which not a single SR-71 was lose, the best safety record in the USAF 1972 to 1989 not a single writeoff.prior to this 12 Habu were writtenoff during the early flight period up to 1972...all remaining SR-71's are classified as museum status by the DOD, the last NASA SR-71 was trucked to MI in 2004 for permanent display, a very sad ending for the Habu,, so yes all the SR-71's are now gone from service...THX

  • Lets settle some things, armchair Xbox aviators. The plane is retired. The Marines never flew one, of course. CIA obtained resource via the USAF pilots, and later for research, NASA used the plane as well. End of story. Go back to all your video games.

  • @jasonthemankiller - And where are they today ? In the dust heap, cheap soviet trash.

  • @saityc - You are kidding right ? The top speed (approx) of the SR 71 was around Mach 3+ so Mach 8 is a bit of a stretch and no the UK isnt flying one, at that speed or any other.

  • @Lear23Driver actually they selled the black bird to UK and their already working in

    Mach 8

  • THE.GREAT.AMERICAN.AVIATION.OR­GASM...!PETRUCI?THISPLANEISSOP­HALIC.U.S.A.

  • @fromspace63 Too expensive to run these days, and satellites can do just as good, if not a better job, end of the day, it was a spy/recon plane, with modern tech, satellites made this graceful bird obsolete.

  • Beautifull nasty guy,one question for USAF , why such awesome plane already retyred ?

  • Music...is that Dream Theater?
