[QUOTE="Engineman1960, post: 3305602, member: 9220"] This is one of my favorites: [URL]https://www.cnn.com/style/article/sr-71-blackbird-spy-plane-design/index.html[/URL] According to the video in the above article; the aircraft flies faster than an M1 Garand bullet (SR-71 top speed 2193.2 miles per hour converts to more than 3216.69333 feet per second; the M1 muzzle velocity is 2800 feet per second). I used this calculator: [URL]https://www.inchcalculator.com/convert/mile-per-hour-to-foot-per-second/[/URL] According to this website, there are 30 on display: [URL]https://www.sr-71.org/blackbird/locations.php#oregon[/URL] I have visited 10 -- 19 to go, don’t think I’m going to make it to Duxford, England; But -- Never Say Never !!!!
