Origin and history
The SR-71 Blackbird was a strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed by Lockheed in the 1960s. It was designed for operations at high altitudes and extreme speeds, which made it a virtually impregnable target for enemy fighters and anti-aircraft defenses.
The SR-71B version was specially modified as a two-seat training aircraft for pilot training of this demanding technique. USAF Det 4 "Dartboard" was part of the 9th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing and operated out of Beale Air Force Base, California.

- Due to the extreme temperatures at high speeds, the SR-71 was made of 92% titanium
