At 85,000 feet, it could outrun missiles, literally flying faster than explosions behind it. When it was retired in 1990, it didn’t slow down. On its final flight to the museum, it broke four world speed records, including Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. in just over an hour. #TheWarRoom #SR71Blackbird #ColdWarTech #fblifestyle | Artifact Archives | Facebook

Lockheed SR-71A Throughout its nearly 24-year career, the SR-71 remained the world's fastest and highest-flying operational aircraft. From 80,000 feet, it could survey 100,000 square miles of Earth's surface per hour. On July 28, 1976, an SR-71 set two world records for its class -- an absolute speed record of 2,193.167 mph and an absolute altitude record of 85,068.997 feet. #avgeek #history #sr71blackbird | National Museum of the U.S. Air Force
