Still nothing, in my mind, compared to the SR71-A BlackBird... I LOVE that plane...
Maximum Speed: 3.2 Mach above 75,000 feet
Operational Ceiling: over 85,000 feet
Maximum Unrefueled Range: 3,200 nautical miles
Powerplant Data:
2 Pratt & Whitney J58 (JT11D-20A) High-bypass-turbojets with 34,000 pounds thrust
Did you know that the tires are filled with nitrogen to keep from exploding in flight.The pilots are so high up that they must where a space suit. The planes skin gets so hot that it actually extends 2 to 4 inches and the paint actually turns blue. The fuel tanks aren't even sealed until it reaches operational altitude.
Semi-informative link.... EDIT: I LOVE FS2K2
