SR-71
This is my variation of the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird which was developed through the late 1950's and early 60's to serve as a replacement to the U-2 Dragonlady. The Blackbird made its first flight in 1964 and remained in service until it was retired in 1998 from military service and in 1999 by NASA. The Blackbirds main claim to fame was its cruising speed of mach 3.2(2,200 mph) and its high max altitude of 85,000 feet which it achived thanks to its unusual shape and its Pratt & Whitney J58 engines. Unfortunately this model is only able to reach a max speed of 900 mph(measued at 12,000 feet). The controls of this model are similar to most other planes in the game. The pitch will have to be adjusted slightly to remain in level flight. Group 1 will activated the drogue chute on the back of the aircraft.
