Hi. Great Forum here. You'll have fun!
Somewhat distressed to see the SR 71 as a museum piece. That bird was state of the art future aircraft just yesterday. Jeeeeze. ROTF

THE most awesome aircraft in the world, ever. Imagine being shot at with a missile and just outrunning it to get away. That has to be some incredible speed that no one knows about. Except the pilots of course. Maybe a 71 pilot will see this and comment.

Welcome to the forum Larry. My 71 is painted flat black and then go from there. Looks good I think.

Here is my Blackbird. I'm missing the pointy thing at the very front and the cockpit canopy if anybody has some extra parts. Please let me know if you do. As you can see there is a perfect covering of space dust on the plane from the last trip to 80k feet. It really needs to go through a car wash if I can find one big enough. What an incredible design.

Nice looking bird!

The "pointy thing"? Is that a technical term?
