	SR-71 Blackbird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For State Route 71 or State Road 71, see list of highways numbered 71.
		The Lockheed SR-71, unofficially known as the Blackbird and by its crews as the Habu, was an advanced, long-range, Mach 3 strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed from the Lockheed YF-12A and A-12 aircraft by the Lockheed Skunk Works (also responsible for the U-2).
		However, then USAF Chief of Staff Curtis LeMay preferred the SR designation and wanted the RS-71 to be named SR-71.

	SR-71 Blackbird
		There had been proposals to treat the SR -71as a national asset and fund it accordingly, but these moves were blocked at various levels.
		Already planned sensor and maintainability upgrades were cancelled, and then because the SR couldn't perform the function an upgrade was supposed to do, this was given as a reason why the SR wasn't capable enough.
		In the 1980s, this policy changed and maintenance personnel went on the normal USAF rotation, lowering the experience level and increasing the mmh/fh ratio, which was then trumpeted as "proof" that the SR was becoming less maintainable.

	Mig25 VS SR-71
		The Mig-25 can only sustain an altitude of 78,740 feet for two minutes maximum.
		In 1973, Kelly Johnson, designer of the SR-71 Blackbird, stated that the Mig-25 Foxbat has the inherent capability to outperform the SR only in maneuverability.
		However, he stated, it would be the missile and not the aircraft that would require the maneuverability to intercept a Blackbird.
