Looks nice, but I thought the cockpit just had dials and a moving map display, none of that techno modern wizardy that I see in those cockpit shots.

As for the HUD............?

I'm what you would call an SR-71 fanatic.

Nice shots though Ozzy.

A new 'pit has been released and I'll be installing it (made by a Blackbird fanatic apparently)!
This aircraft is just FUN :o It is wasted at low-level (not for lack of trying and blowing cars clean off bridges with the sonic booms)...
I just wanted to see if I could climb to the limit in real-time with just throttle and stick 8)

Hmm are those..I dont want to call it engines, but I assume they are just THAT....ermm are those Stage 3 noise compliant?  ;D  ;D

Seems like quite a machine. Does the yanks still use it?  ??? GPS would seem to do a better job, no?

Nice stuff Ozwaldo!  8)

No, we don't use it anymore. It's ironic that the SR-71 came along to replace the U-2, but the SR-71 was retired a few years back and the U-2 is still going strong. :)

Great Pics!

Yankee logic  ??? (do you have more info as to why this happened?)
So when will we be expecting Boeing to launch their 707 again to replace the 787  ;D
