The SR-71 Blackbird can fly at 2,193 miles per hour(Mach 3) and can fly up to 85,000 feet near the edge of space. The SR-71 Blackbird is the only military spy aircraft the was never been shot down and had taken more than 100 pictures of enemy territory. Until today, the SR-71 Blackbird is still the World's fastest and highest flying aircraft but it is now in the museum for display. In 1998 the SR-71 Blackbird finally retired from recconasaince missions because it was using too many gas. The faster the aircraft flies, the more gas it uses very quickly.

How fast can the and how high can the SR-71 Blackbird fly?

Okay, here's a tip about which can climb in a higher altitude will win. You decide which one can fly much more higher altitudes. Most time missiles have shot down pretty much military aircraft though but not that much. Still not easy to destroy military planes. Most types of jets get shot down, well just a few of them not that many but there's only one military aircraft was never been shot down before, the SR-71 Blackbird the spy-plane. Missiles climb pretty high and fast but the SR-71 Blackbird uses stealth and a high speed afterburner. That's was a pretty good lock-on to the SR-71 Blackbird though but it is not easy. Missiles are pretty awesome and they're pretty powerful but not that much. Missiles still can lose military aircrafts. Military planes still can win. Missiles can only fly at 70,000 to 80,000 feet but the SR-71 Blackbird can fly at 82,000 to 85,000 feet. No SR-71 Blackbird was ever shot down before. The SR-71 Blackbird is the winner.
