SR-71 BLACKBIRD™
We are immensely proud of our licensing program with Lockheed Martin ® ,the lar gest defense contractor
in the world, and maker of some of the most unique and compelling jets in aviation history. As we move
into the future look for more series from us that are tied to other Lockheed Martin
® aviation properties.
The SR-71 Blackbird ™ is one of the most spectacular aircraft ever build, a long range advanced strategic
reconnaissance aircraft developed when the USAF and the CIA decided to replace the U-2 Dragonlady ™
reconnaissance jets, initially with the Lockheed Martin ® . A-12, and ultimately the SR-71 Blackbird ™ .
The first flight of the SR-71 ™ took place on December 22, 1964 and the USAF retired the SR-71 ™ on January
26, 1990. They were capable of flying at speeds of over Mach 3.2 and at 85’000 feet. Throughout its near-
ly 24-year career, the SR-71
™ remained the fastest and highest flying production aircraft in the world.
Clearly, the SR-71 Blackbird ™ was a remarkable aircraft. Our watch series acknowledges and celebrates its
record accomplishments and significance in aviation history.
