Original Creator - Fearoflightning. The Lockheed Martin SR-71 Blackbird was a Mach 3+ reconnaissance aircraft for the cia. It was developed after a U2 was shot down over the USSR. Not a single SR-71 was ever lost to enemy fire. Standard missile evasion procedure was to speed up. My version is a improvement to Fearoflightning's original SR-71 Blackbird - v3. My Version features improved landing gear, better engines that push the aircraft to a top speed of 1,400+ MPH, reduced drag, and improved balance making my version much more stable. All credit for the aircraft itself goes to FearoFlightning. I only made minor changes to it. I do not take credit for making this aircraft, I only take credit for the changes I have made.
