wikipedia says the SR71 was the official name and that the Black bird was a name attached to it by the crews that flew it. I have found several references on other Sr71 web sites that refer to it as the black Hawk, so I guess that Black bird is the correct name, but I think black hawk sound more sinister so I will keep it as is.

Isn't that the blackBIRD? Much better shot than I was able to get w my Uzy when I was down there... that thing just sucks up the light :o

Thanks Miro, Colin, and Brent when I go back for another visit, my sister lives very close to the annex, I will sit on the floor and take the same shot.

Bird of pray for sure. Nice capture. One can't see them every day even in US.

Even looking right at it - it is hard to make out the shape. First the wheels leading up to the sweep of the wings. A great picture of discovery! brent
