Description: The SR-71 was
developed by Lockheed's "Skunk Works" to replace the U-2 high altitude
spyplane which had become vulnerable to interception by surface-to-air
missiles. The SR-71 is very fast and with a top speed in excess of 2100mph
it still holds many world speed records. In the early '90s the SR-71 fleet
was mothballed but several aircraft have been reactivated by the continuing
need for a manned reconnaissance capability.
