The Uncanny (Real) X-Plane
– http://www.sr-71.org/
Before
the movie, before the cartoon… the X-Men had the coolest plane around. Their
air vehicle of choice was a modified SR-71, commonly (but unofficially) called
“Blackbird.”
Manufactured by Lockheed, this high altitude, supersonic spy
plane was a product of the cold war and was based on the premise that while you
might want to fly through another nation’s airspace and take pictures, that
didn’t mean you wanted to do so slowly or at a low altitude. It entered service
in 1966.
The SR-71 holds many different records including that day in
July 1976 when the plane flew at an altitude of 85,068 feet.
Other than
those aircraft seconded to NASA in 1991 (and retired last year), the SR-71
program ended in 1990. On March 6, 1990, the last flight of the plane which now
resides in the Smithsonian allowed the aircraft to make history one last time
when it traveled from the 1,998 miles from Los Angeles area to Washington in a
fraction less than one hour, four minutes and twenty seconds.

Rainbow</i>.<br> <br>”There were some problems with it. The hat was not right.
The feet and the legs weren’t right. The sculptor did not understand the way
that a duck was anatomically built. They wanted to make the duck stand like a
man, but a duck’s legs are far back on the body compared to where the head is if
you look at Donald Duck or Uncle Scrooge in profile. Nonetheless, it was pretty
impressive,” he said.<br> <br>”As a result of that one introduction, we then
