NASA appears to be pulling its SR-71 Blackbird, the fastest production plane ever made, out of retirement as the Trump administration teases its new line of hypersonic surveillance jets — but doubt…
Seeing Blackbird fly again after all these years would be incredible. I’d love to know what NASA has planned for it.
The SR-71 is the fastest production plane ever made that we know of. If one is being brought out of retirement, my first inclination would be to think it’s because something bad happened and they ran out of “Auroras” or whatever even faster black project jet they replaced it with.

Or America stopped being able to make them natively.
