Re: Stevemode's random facts
the SR-71 Blackbird flies so fast and so high that if its pilot detected a surface-to-air missile, the standard evasive action was to simply accelerate.
No SR-71 has ever been shot down.
SR-71 set two world records:
an absolute speed record of 2,193.167 mph (3,529.56 km/h)
and an US absolute altitude record of 85,068.997 feet (25,929 m)
