What I like about the Blackbird is it just looks right....kindof like the intuitively designed jaguars of the fifties and sixties....before computers ruined the looks of race cars!

The newer fighter jets (a lot of them anyway) now look wrong...kindof like a Chris Bangle design.

The Blackbird is the personification of speed!
