I saw an SR-71 in person at the Pima Air & Space museum in Tucson. I
couldn't resist, I snuck under the ropes and had to touch the plane.
Remarkable piece of machinery. Reportedly could acheive orbit if
necessary, and carried it's own oxygen supply for engine combustion
purposes.

Little is ever said about the SR-71 "clone drone"... they also had one
on display there... a pilot-less single engine drone constructed of
the same materials and techniques...
