SR-71 Blackbird
Dryden’s SR-71B Blackbird, NASA 831, slices across the snow-covered southern Sierra Nevada Mountains of California after being refueled by an Air Force tanker during a 1994 flight.
SR-71B was the trainer version of the SR-71. Note the dual cockpit to allow the instructor to fly the airplane.
