Finally went and seen one in person today and damn I love her even more in person. Thinking about buying a model of one too. Don't think they will ever make a cooler jet, the B2 is the closest in my opinion.

One must be armed in order to make the list of badassery good Sir.

Going through the air at 3,100 fps is just awesome. I actually think I'd rather fly in this then be in a spaceship

outrunning missiles would be funner that shooting them and never losing a plane to enemy fire is quite badass considering the places it flew over.

Just to think about it being developed and created back in that time period is amazing. |

How many SRs did that chase down and shoot ? The A-12 and variants are no doubt a more amazing aircraft. But 'badass'? I think down and dirty and in the trenches when I hear badass. Proof that we are getting more retarderated is that both the F-4 and SR-71, with modern avionics, would be perfectly viable in todays airspace. |

I was lucky enough to grow up near the air base’s
Even then it was rare to see one flying ... The first time I was in third or fourth grade one flew over the school breaking the sound barrier....I spotted it before the sound and boom. The other three times were near the local air base’s .... they sound like nothing else Here's a link to the most amazing SR story .... link |
|
The BUFF doesn't make the list at all.
The things I'd like to fly more are the shuttle, F-22, F-18, F-16, and the A-10. |

I'll just sit in this corner and wait until AURORA is declassified.

Lots of good Blackbird stories.
Inlet Unstart - already linked above Slow flyby - already linked above Speed Check Missle Launch and others |

Eggland has one outside on display. Sweet plane!
There is a B-58 Hustler 5 miles away from where I live. |
|

Op, don't tell me you live in Ohio and only just now have made it to the AF Museum at Wright Pat...? For anyone that's never been the AF Museum absolutely DESTROYS the Smithsonian, Udvar Hazy and Pima. If you've not been GO. They're even building another hangar to move all the stuff from the Annex back over to the main museum and off of the base.

Very cool plane. I worked with an old timer that was involved with the SR71. He said it was a lot of work to maintain them.

The USAF Museum compliments the Smithsonian, Udvar Hazy and Pima. |

You haven’t had one fly directly over you at 400 ft and heard the crazy sound
