October 9, 1999: The legendary Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird made its final flight, closing the book on a career that shattered speed and altitude records and redefined reconnaissance aviation. With a top speed over Mach 3 and the ability to fly at 85,000 feet, the SR-71 was a marvel of engineering and pure speed.

Want to see history up close? The only remaining SR-71B, the two-seat trainer version, is on display at the Air Zoo!
