The coast-to-coast aircraft speed record set by the SR-71 on March 6th, 1990, was between Los Angeles and Washington, not New York. The difference is that the New York destination would have added a bit of time to the trip (but not much). The trip as recorded took 67 minutes 54 seconds, with an average speed 2,125 miles per hour, or 3,420 kilometers per hour. The National Aeronautic Association (NAA) has included this record in its logs, but an independent site of Blackbird enthusiasts holds the record time as 64 minutes 20 seconds. A link is provided below to check facts and learn more about this remarkable aircraft.
