An SR-71 Homepage

The SR-71 "Blackbird" is my favorite aircraft. I've been interested in it ever since I was a kid, after reading an article about the aircraft in a magazine. I don't remember the magazine, so don't ask.

Other than various reference books mentioning it, I've also got a poster sized drawing of it, and the front view is pictured here.

In addition to the drawings, it includes a temperature chart at cruising speed, which is impressive. Note for conversion, 0K = 273C, and F = (9/5 * C) + 32.

The following are a series of pictures, listed one at a time, with their sizes, so that you can decide if you really want to download them or not.
