actually the SR71 works out great due to the fact that in the toys/cartoons, Jetfire/Skyfire was rather large in comparison to Starscream

What his name is is one of those arguments that will go on forever with Transformer fans, just like whether Rumble is red or blue. (He's BLUE!)
He starts out as a Decepticon (in G1) before he realizes he doesn't really agree with their methods. Though he hates aligning himself against his old friend Starscream.
That said, I've always much preferred SKYfire.

technically he doesnt start out on either side. he and Starscream are scientist friends, he gets frozen on earth, SS finds him millions of years later and he joins up with the decepts, then realizes that SS has changed and switches to the Autobots and sacrifices himself to save them.

The SR-71 did have a close rival though, the MIG-25 and MIG-31. Both were able to get up to Mach 2.83 or something close to there, and there was speculation it could go faster. I think, though, the SR-71 was still better, as there were something like 700+ USSR missles fired at it without ever bringing one down. They'd just go WOT and run away from the missles. I think the top speed of those, officially, was Mach 3.3, but I've read there were pilots who'd reached higher speeds. One thing to remember was it was designed to run at, at least, those speeds regularly. That's awesome.
But I digress. I vote F-14 or F-15  |
while i like the 14/15, they dont have the prestige and reputation the blackbird does.
oh, and sidenote, there were unofficial claims by blackbird pilots of over mach 8.
