Who cares if the SR71 is useless from a spy/intelligence standpoint. Fly it anyway! I love to see that aircraft in the air!

Who cares if the SR71 is useless from a spy/intelligence standpoint. Fly it anyway! It took >$100MIL in 1995 to get just three SR-71 activiated. Then Clinton shut it down 2 years later. We do have to spend wisely for qualified assets.

There's that. Fun to watch. Good recruiting tool in air shows. Might have a psych-ops value. Sonic booms and so forth.

I'm right with you on that. It is my favorite aircraft of all time. What I would give for a ride in it...
