When was the last flight of the SR-71? Or what was the last known flight of the plane? I have heard rumors they have replaced some of the engines on it and its doing some testing...from pilots who have heard odd callsigns from crazy flight levels..

They don't need to fly them anymore as they've got a fleet of Mach 9, cheese-powered Auroras!

Any concept sketches of the Aurora on A.Net?
Cameras shoot pictures. Guns shoot people. They have the guns.

Quoting Res (Reply 9): The U-2s and T-38s out of Beale still use those callsigns, I would guess.
Do they go up to FL600 and such at similar speeds?

Quoting Cadet985 (Reply 2): Does the USAF still have theirs in mothballs?
All the USAF SR-71's (and A-12's) have been put on static display, a various locations around the States and one is at Duxford in the UK.

U-2s at FL600? You can bet the U-2 is up there regularly - No question about it.
Speed-wise, on the other hand, are all reports of "ASPEN" at crazy speeds? Find the facts before speculating on what other pilots have said.

No man, I'm not stating any of it as a fact, just that I HAVE heard from other pilots (not very reliable, i know), about high speed planes with aspen callsigns, and I was just saying, so dont get on me about anything..
