"There is little in the world that can match the simultaneous awesomeness and mystery of a spy plane. These are the paragon of modern innovation, yet largely pass invisible above us. They decide battles and wars, yet only a few lucky soldiers get to see them. Blah blah blah words. Let's look at some incredible machinery…" link Amicalement

Nice to see my dad's plane first on the list. I have the clock from his plane taken when they flew it to the Boneyard. My cousin flew Blaxkbir dada, so I've connections to two on the list. |

Brian Shul's books about flying the SR71 are definitely worth reading. |

Well I'm not impressed with the list… |

Yes, I'd also add the Canberra PR9 (which frequently out-performed the U2) and the Nimrod R1 electronic eavesdropper. |

I'm with you, Dark Knight… they list some pics and some standard everyday available stats, nothing "badass" about that. Tell me about the missions they did, or unusual circumstances that EARNED them the "badass" title. And just to pedantic, a drone is not a plane, it's a DRONE. |
