I saw one google photo that showed a levitating SUV - the shadow indicated
it was at least 8' off the ground.

There are two more Blackbirds (pause for reverence) parked at the north end
of the Edwards tarmac in the NASA section. One of those birds is now at
McMinnville under the right wing of the Spruce Goose.

Speaking of Blackbirds, did you know that two of them are unaccounted
for? The Roadrunners (a fraternity of former Blackbird pilots,
crewmembers, workers, etc.) have done an excellent job of listing where
each SR-71 ever built has ended up -- and come up two short.

Rumor has it that they're still flying...but no one knows, for sure.

When dealing with propaganda terminology one sometimes always speaks in
variable absolutes. This is not to be mistaken for an unbiased slant.

Given that we have no equivalent replacement I would expect them to be
used.

Of course there's an equivalent replacement - they're orbiting several
hundreds of kilometers up and go by names like KH-12, Improved Chrystal,
Indigo, LaCrosse, Vega, and likely a half a dozen other names still
classified.

The SR-71 was retired because there's no need for its capabilities any
longer. Everything the SR-71 could do can now be done cheaper and better
(and more safely) by satellites.

Peace and justice,

Similiar, not equivalent.

The Predator does provide another similar function currently. It
covers most of the gaps left by satellites.

Balderdash.
It was retired on pure economic reasons.

The satellites may give good picture, but what you want is a picture
while the other guy has his pants down.

A satellite is as predictable in its path as the stars in the heavens.

Satellites generally don't carry enough fuel for the huge delta-V's
required to work the bird on an irregular schedule.

That's the one thing the Blackbirds could do that nothing else could.

Suddenly.
Arrive.
And then be long gone...

Smile, you're on candid camera!

Did you ever ask your 'friend' if a 71 was lost when the bird blew up
after launch from the Cape?

My source swears it happened but?????????? Supposdly the Oxy was
burned out of air causing engine to flame out and could not be
restarted............

Strange things happen but if I were a betting man I'd put some money
on this not happening.
