Just some shots I took whilst testing out this repaint of Alphasim's SR-71A in the livery of Blackbird #61-7980, owned by NASA. This one was the very last Blackbird to fly before they were all retired.

It's number was originally 980, but after it was handed over to NASA in 1990, it was given a new designation (NASA 844), though some sources still refer to it as #980. I'm no expert though, I'm just going by what I read.

As for the repaint, at the moment the only place you can find it is on my hard drive. :P
