This short movie shows the last ever flight of an SR71 Blackbird. This flight took place on October 9th 1999 at the Edwards AFB Open House Airshow.
We were treated to a Mach 3+flyover at over 80,00ft which resulted in a double sonic boom.
The SR71 was meant to fly on the Sunday as well but a massive fuel leak from the jet was to stop that.So from October the 9th 1999 she never flew again.
I feel priviledged to have witnessed such an epic event in aviation history, from a plane that was way infront of it's time and had millions of people spellbound when they saw her.I have embedded this movie into my aviation website http://www.climb-out.co.uk as I have a page now up covering this show.
Spiecal thanks goes out to Steve Ward without whom this movie would not have been possible.
