Metal Earth - Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird

This is a long-range strategic reconnaissance aircraft capable of speeds over Mach 3.5, developed by Lockheed and its Skunk Works® division. It was the first aircraft to be built primarily out of titanium. At full speed, the surface of the aircraft heats up to over 260°C+ (500°F). A total of 3,551 missions were flown, and no Blackbird was ever lost due to enemy military action. Note: Skunk Works is the nickname for Lockheed’s advanced development programs. Skunk Works engineers have been developing highly advanced military aircraft—often in secret—since World War II.
