This aircraft was designed by Clarence "Kelly" Johnson and built by Lockheed and it's Skunk Works division in the 1960s. The SR-71 served with the U. S. Air Force from 1964 to 1998. In total only 32 were built, of which 12 were lost in accidents. This is my first replica, so please let me know what you think!
