61-7980

(NASA844)

Since February 15, 1990, #980 has been flying for NASA doing high-speed research, although now she is known as #844.  She had been on loan from the Air Force, but in early July 1999, the US Air Force transferred ownership of all four flyable SR-71s to NASA (click here for a NASA press release).
