The only problem with satellites is that they are predictable in their
orbits and can be shot down, where the SR71 goes all over the place before
anyone even knows it's gone.

At very least, I think that we should keep the Blackbird as The Air Force
Federal Express- We can get it from New York to London in 1hr 56 min :-)
