SR-71B Blackbird

SR-71B Blackbird

Eerie and magnificent, the Lockheed SR-71B Blackbird is known unofficially as the “Lady in Black.” 

Developed in the 1960s as a long-range reconnaissance aircraft, the SR-71B can fly more than three times the speed of sound at an altitude of 85,000 feet. The Air Zoo’s Blackbird is the only “B” model in existence – a trainer model with a second cockpit meant for a flight instructor.

The Air Zoo is your chance to get close to one of the most spectacular aircraft ever built. To this day, it holds world records for speed and altitude. Come and meet a high-flying lady you’ll never forget.
