Thacker) Organization: University at Buffalo Lines: 33 Approved: military@att.att.com From: v064lnev@ubvmsb.cc.buffalo.edu (Zerxes Bhagalia) Since the recent retirement of the SR-71 Blackbird supersonic high-altitude reconnaisance aircraft, the American people have been led to believe that the United States no longer supports an aircraft of that calibre. This may very well be true. However, I have recently heard in several back-channel discussions, much talk of another ultra-secret aircraft designed to be the Blackbird's successor in it's once prominent position as "Eye In The Sky". Supposedly, this aircraft has been code-named, the Condor, and may already be in service. Let me asure you that I hold this information very suspect of fantasy, but it has grasped my interest in a most peculiar way. If anyone has any opinions or facts on this subject, I would greatly appreciate receiving them through electronic mail.
