After over 14 hours of work, my SR-71 is finally ready for human consumption. As soon as the Jet Engines came out, I wanted to make this, so here it is!
Slider 1 up to retract the landing gear.
The highest tested altitude is about 27 Kilometers, which is actually a little higher than the real one's estimated max altitude. It is hard to fly but it flies well once you get used to it. I'd recommend using a controller if you have one.
The engines are about as close to the real ones I could get them. It reaches half mach before it even leaves the runway sometimes :P.
It also seems to be fairly durable because when attempting to land one of the landing gear pieces hit the ground at Mach 1 and the landing gear was the only thing that got damaged from the impact and the rest of the plane kept flying.
Regarding the several missing details, those are outside of my skill level. I tried to do the U.S Air Force bit on the sides, but it looked like crap so I scrapped it.
Anyway, I hope you like it! Let me know what you think in the comments.

@P51M This post was a year ago -- I didn't know how to do that. Besides, that still doesn't fully recreate the shape of it.

@Giggitymerf Yeah, I couldn't figure out how to get the shape of the nose right.

A few days ago I managed to improve its performance by quite a bit, however I have not released it yet due to other technical issues that need to be addressed.
