Of the 32 aircraft built, 12 were destroyed in accidents, and none lost to enemy action. The SR-71 has been given several nicknames, including Blackbird and Habu, the latter in reference to an Okinawan species of pit viper.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11939650810121788678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7979718873670878111.post-26239964488042056752012-04-04T14:07:31.300-04:002012-04-04T14:07:31.300-04:00Willie like pic, best plane built by Lockheed Mart...Willie like pic, best plane built by Lockheed Martin-SR-71 spy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11939650810121788678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7979718873670878111.post-8326710817336384092012-04-03T16:00:11.175-04:002012-04-03T16:00:11.175-04:00Wow … a mile in two seconds does sound incredible....Wow … a mile in two seconds does sound incredible.

I agree with you ...it seems like science fiction...but there she is ...for real! When we were at the airport some sort of jet 'whizzed' overhead...gone before your eyes could get a good look. Were we ever impressed! Maybe it was coming from Luke airforce base. Marie is your daughter ...right? She is so nice and sweet. It would have been nice if we could have met her in AZ ...but it wasn't to be. Maybe another time if there is another trip to AZ. Happy EAster! oh...I was able to get that book at the library you recommended...'Townie' by Andre Dubus....I think that was you =>Maggie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991999931680942893noreply@blogger.com
