PS5389 POSTAGE STAMP SR-71 USAF BLACKBIRD® 1/200

After 30 years in service the Blackbird still looks like a 21st century aircraft.  The SR-71's mission was strategic reconnaissance.  One of the fastest planes ever built, it reached a top speed of more than 2,200 mph at an altitude of 80,000 feet.  At this altitude, the crew needed to wear special pressurized suites and helmets and required 100% oxygen to survive.   Because of its unique look and technological achievements, this aircraft is a favorite among aviation enthusiasts. This die-cast metal model comes in 1:200 scale with plastic stand and is approximately 6 3/16 inches long with 3 3/16 inch wingspan.
