If you were a young boy in the late 70’s/early 80’s, it’s almost a given that you were a huge fan of the SR-71 Blackbird spy plane (in no small part because it was the model for the “Blackbird” aircraft flown by the X-Men). As one of those former SR-71 enthusiasts, whose 6th grade science project was the building of an SR-71 model rocket, it’s difficult not to squee all over the place while watching this video of an absolutely huge RC SR-71. Just listen to the roar of those engines!
