Salute!
Over 20 years since the last flight of the SR-71 and no sight of the TR-3 or the Aurora or whatever made the soap-on-a-rope contrails far above the airways off the West coast...
A great point, frequent poster. Been 9 years since the UBL raid, so guess there's been no effort to develop and field new, improved systems for covert and not so covert missions. We don't even know the exact configuration of the choppers used back then.
I wonder why the Guardian or Sun or NYT or WaPo doesn't have accurate scale diagrams of every bend and curve and angle on the platforms that the U.S. or any other country wishes to remain "secret". /sarc
And then the DuPont company or 3M could have their patent for their new, improved RAM coatings that have been developed and fielded since the late 70's and early 80's when one country seemed to have made a quantum leap in LO technology. Huh? Oooops, shouldn't have mentioned "quantum"....... Now waiting for the visit from men in black, sheesh....
Gums sends...
