"black bird fly...in to the the light of a dark black night"<br /> —Duane Jensen, as typed on a 1949 Smith-Corona Clipper S/N: #5C 101511 which, like a phoenix from the ashes, he'd brought back to life.

RIP Duane.

Aerospace companies are in a heated race to create a hypersonic plane to replace the SR-71 Blackbird. Though retired in 1990, the SR-71 still holds the record as the fastest plane ever built, achieving a top speed of 3,540 kmh (2,200 mph).
The SR-71 Blackbird is so awesome!
