Anyone know if P&W has a similar animation passing through the jet of an SR-71?

Two P&W J58 engines, each with thrust measuring at 32,500 pounds with afterburner, powered the Lockheed Martin SR-71 Blackbird to speeds exceeding three times the speed of sound. The SR-71 is a long-range, advanced, strategic reconnaissance aircraft. The first flight of an SR-71 took place on December 22, 1964, and the aircraft entered service in 1966. The Air Force initially retired its fleet of SR-71s on Jan. 26, 1990, but returned them to the active Air Force inventory in 1995 and began flying operational missions in January 1997. NASA flew two models for advanced research up until two years ago. The aircraft have subsequently been retired.

Throughout its nearly 24-year career, the SR-71 remained the world?s fastest and highest-flying operational aircraft. From 80,000 feet it could survey 100,000 square miles of Earth?s surface per hour. On July 28, 1976, an SR-71 set two world records for its class: an absolute speed record of 2,193.167 miles per hour and an absolute altitude record of 85,068.997 feet.

That's actually really slow... I thought turbine engines ran into the 10-50krpm range.... Hmm...
