Deadly and menacing, the Blackbird SR-71 is the fastest and highest flying aircraft. Due to her unique shape, the titanium monster came to be known as Habu, a venomous pit  viper found on some pacific islands.  SR-71 #974 flew the most operational missions. In recognition of that, a large Habu, wrapped around a red number 1 was painted on the tails of #974.  She became known as “Ichi-Ban” translated to “number one” in the local language
