Diecast metal pullback propelled aircraft toy of the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird with U.S. Air Force markings.
To operate, keep the landing gear in contact with a solid surface, pull back the aircraft - the further you go the more distance and speed - and release for a supersonic acceleration into Mach 3+.
The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird is the fastest and highest-flying jet aircraft in history. Duxford’s SR-71 Blackbird has flown higher than any other when it set the world record for sustained altitude flight in 1976, flying at 85,000 feet. Blackbird was developed in the 1960s during the Cold War as a high-flying reconnaissance jet.
It is still considered by many as the most advanced aircraft of its type, flying at three times the speed of sound, faster than any weapon that could be fired at it. Come and see the only one on display outside the US for yourself at
IWM Duxford's American Air Museum.
