I was watching some other videos on them. It's insanely fast. We've retired that plane. Can you imagine what they have now?

@Amre2me2 ???
Never worked on the SR. Before my time. F-117, F-22 and a few others that remain a mystery.

The SR was so far ahead of its time. See the fuel on the wings in the pic? It had no bladders so it leaked horribly until it got up to speed, expanded, and sealed up all the crack. Every flight, shortly after takeoff, it had to refuel. Extremely expensive airplane to maintain. When it heats up, it turns white. I saw one land one time that was so hot, it looked grey. I have a flag that was flown on the very last SR flight.

Rain delay for the race! Any idea if it's going to clear up?
