The '''Lockheed SR-71''' is an advanced, long-range, Mach 3 strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed from the [[Lockheed A-12]] and [[Lockheed YF-12A|YF-12A]] aircraft by the Lockheed Skunk Works. The SR-71 was unofficially named the Blackbird, and called the Habu by its crews. Clarence "Kelly" Johnson was responsible for many of the design's advanced concepts. A defensive feature of the aircraft was its high speed and operating altitude, whereby, if a surface-to-air missile launch were detected, standard evasive action was simply to accelerate. The SR-71 line was in service from 1964 to 1998, with 12 of the 32 aircraft being destroyed in accidents, though none were lost to enemy action. | The '''Lockheed SR-71''' is an advanced, long-range, Mach 3 strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed from the [[Lockheed A-12]] and [[Lockheed YF-12A|YF-12A]] aircraft by the Lockheed Skunk Works.
