- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- The SR-71 Blackbird 61-17980 was a strategic reconnaissance aircraft operated by the United States Air Force (USAF). It was built by Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works division and entered service in 1966. The aircraft was designed to fly at high altitudes and speeds, reaching a top speed of Mach 3.3, making it the fastest aircraft ever built. Its sleek design and black color earned it the nickname "Blackbird."
- The SR-71 Blackbird was used during the Cold War to collect intelligence on the Soviet Union and other countries. It was also used during the Vietnam War to provide reconnaissance and surveillance, and to track enemy movements. The aircraft's speed and altitude made it difficult to detect and intercept, making it a valuable asset for intelligence gathering.
- The SR-71 Blackbird 61-17980 was retired in 1990 after over 24 years of service. It is now on display at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center of the National Air and Space Museum in Virginia, USA.
- The 1:72 scale model of the SR-71 Blackbird 61-17980 is an exceptional collectible for aviation enthusiasts and collectors alike. The intricate details and high-quality construction make it a true representation of the iconic aircraft. With its unique history and incredible speed, the SR-71 Blackbird remains one of the most fascinating aircraft of all time. This model is a perfect way to bring a piece of that history and engineering marvel into your home or office.
