Got to see an SR-71 up close many years ago (abeit with its wings removed for transport) it was still one badass looking jet.

the sr-71 isn't stealth just fast as hell, plus it flew very high so not many missile systems could hit it.

</math joke>

what makes it a STEALTH plane though? Just because it's less recognized than its x-y and x-z bretheren doesn't make it invisible to vectors or anything :p

SR-71 > *, ESPECIALLY considering how old it is.

What about the X-35? Didn't it win the competition to become the JSF? (F-22 is a little pricey and not versitile enough for all our military divisions)

I think you are thinkink of the U-2 spyplane that was shot down. I dont think we have lost an SR-71 to enemy fire. Let me Google it.

More like 100,000 feet. Commercial jets generally cruise around 35,000.
