| A visitor from United States posted Thu July 26, 2007: Awesome picture. This SR71 is on static display outdoors at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, TX. I have walked around it many times. Kind of sad to see it out cooking in the sun for years on end. | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon July 23, 2007: Excellent photograph, really captures the power of the Blackbird, the orange of the reheat stands out. I was there that day and can remember very clearly its startling acceleration. | |

 A visitor from Russian Federation posted Sat November 18, 2006:Photo taken over 20 years ago with a regular camera! Excellent quality and moment!

| A visitor from Canada posted Sat July 22, 2006: The SR71 is a tough jet to fly. This picture is excellent because not only is the clarity very good but it's showing some major rudder deflection. | |

| A visitor from United States posted Sat January 28, 2006: Lockheed has made some amazing planes, but the Blackbird is one of my favorites. It's an absolute classic in all time. | |
 A visitor from Switzerland posted Wed January 25, 2006:Just brilliant... Nothing more to say than: the US more particularly Lockheed have always been the best in the military market! Don't come and talk about Airbus and those stupid Russian stuff. Definitely US airplane makers are due to be the best for at least the next few decades perhaps centuries. | |
| A visitor from Singapore posted Fri January 20, 2006: I don't know about you aviation fans out there but to me, this Thing still looks Very 21st. century-ish despite it's premature retirement from the USAF more than ten years ago. Every angle of this venerable bird screams Blazing Speed. Thank You Derek, for sharing a Great photo. | |
| A visitor from Singapore posted Fri January 20, 2006: I don't know about you aviation fans out there, but to me, this Thing still looks Very 21st. century-ish even though long retired. Every angle of this venerable bird screams Blazing Speed. Thank You Derek, for sharing a Great photo. | |
| A visitor from France posted Thu January 19, 2006: Of course, this shot is "non digital era" and you can easyly notice the "pattern of the photo paper" threw the scan processus... But you know what ? It's a Blackbird while taking-off ! And I would pay to see that in real !!! Great bird, long after-burner, light banking and gear begining to be retracted : a powerful composition. 5 stars, no less. | |
| A visitor from - posted Sat January 14, 2006: Great tribute to Kelly Johnson and all of Skunk Works | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri January 13, 2006: What a great shot of a fantastic aircraft. | |
 A visitor from Sweden posted Fri January 13, 2006:Nice picture, the afterburner effects looks awesome. I will definitely buy one of those when i become a multi billionaire. At least if i can persuade The USAF to sell one :). By the way, my father knows the guy who survived exiting one of those in mach 3+ or whatever it was. | |
| A visitor from Switzerland posted Wed January 11, 2006: My personal favorite! wish they'd still fly... | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sun January 8, 2006: Wow. That thing looks OLD | |
| A visitor from United States posted Fri December 30, 2005: Awesome shot! The SR-71 has always been one of my favorites planes. | |
