The SR-71, with its impressive and unorthodox appearance, is the younger sister of the U-2 with the important difference that it is built to perform its duties at MACH 3.5. US Strategic Air Command has stated that the Blackbird still holds the world speed record. It can cross the United States in less than an hour. SR-71s have been used everywhere—flying over Cuba, China, Vietnam, Middle East, etc. in times of crisis. These birds operated out of Okinawa and Holloman AFB. No on-par replacement has so far been developed.
