heh Indeed! I do believe Alex included that story in one of his other Blackbird videos ☺️ And if I'm also remembering correctly, they were giving thank-you medals from the US, but also that it's officially still classified... Or that it was, up until only recently...

Yup! I still remember stumbling across it in an Encyclopedia Britannica, in my elementary school's library in the very-early 90s. I just happened to pick up that book, at random, and was paging through it, when there she was... A photo of the Blackbird, set against a mountain range! 😳 🥹 That was all it took! ❤ From then on, whenever we had 'library time'... I was over there trying to find that same book, trying to find that same page!

@WasabiSniffer You're not wrong, though! They made many albums over the years... Photo Albums! 😏 ☺️

@DerithHorton-wj5qe haha Yea, I'd forgotten about it being misnamed due to a typo! Personally, I think SR-71 sounds better anyhow. I don't know if that's just because we've always called it by that, and that's why, or if it's due to legitimately sounding snazzier... But either way, I'll leave RS to the Chevy Camaro (ala Rally Sport package) 😊
