Nifty useless piece of random information.. The sr71 has a fuel line that runs under the wings that actually leaks aviation gas when its not moving mach 1+, this was done becuase an actual solid fuel line would burst from the air pressure generated by the high speed. SO any sr71 that is fueled and on the ground leaks gas.
