SR-71 Blackbird
This is my variation of the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird which was developed throught the late 1950's and early 60's to serve as a replacement for the U-2 Dragonlady. The Blackbird made its first flight in 1964 and remained in service until 1998 when it was retired from military service and 1999 when it was retired from NASA. One of the Blackbirds claims to fame was its cruising speed of mach 3.2 and its max altitude of 85,000 feet. Unfortunately the model is only able to reach a max speed of around 900 mph(measured at an altitude of 12,000ft). The contols of this model are similar to most other planes in the game. The pitch will meed to be adjusted slightly to remain level in flight. Group 1 will activate the landing chute on the back of the aircraft.

@UmbrelaSnake
To be specific its the fighter variant but it flew faster than its weapons projectile's
@AirPlaneBrosTM I'll probably have it up by tomorrow with a couple other planes
Don't forget the YF-12
Nice job!
