Indeed. That plane is simply the best aeronautical creation of all time. Developed in the 1960's and it was untouchable when retired in the 1990's. 30 years of service, INCREDIBLE record, and they STILL use them to test chassis's for supersonic flight.
Yes, they strap other plane designs to the back of the SR-71 and test them at supersonic speeds.
Truly a legend.
