Interesting airplane, but that's no SR-71 (or any of its siblings, like the A-12 or even the mothership for the D-21)
Did one of your parents work at Plant 42?

I tried to find the original pic I based it off of when I originally posted it, and I couldn't. But when I looked just now, I found it.

Description on this original picture: "NOT SR71 - Something spotted flying out of Groom? Aurora maybe?? Alas, no. It's a model of a stealth-a-cized version of a SR-71, used for a motorcycle advertising campaign in Europe"
Website where the picture is:

So probably what happened is that I googled, or since it was 2004 when I painted it maybe I Asked Jeeves or Yahooed for an SR71 picture and this one came up. Looking at it as an "adult", I always thought my painting skills just sucked because it didn't look like an SR-71. Turns out you're right AND my painting skills suck
