The SR-71 Blackbird.

A spy plane that flew at approximately 70 to 85 thousand (21,000 to 25,000 meters) above Earth's sea level and cruised at speeds of 2,500 miles per hour ( 4,000 km per hour) is one man's most most amazing creation in its class for the purposes of intelligence gathering.

When the enemy fired missiles and other rockets at the Blackbird, the evasive maneuver was simply, acceleration and climbing.

Nothing could reach this machine that practically flew at the edge of Earth's atmosphere and beginning of solar system space.

Enemy aircraft would run out of fuel before they could even attempt to get close to the Blackbird.

Missiles would burn out of rocket fuel. On some instances, the SR-71 outsped missiles and bullets fired at it.

Architecture, engineering and operation of this machine is phenomenal. Even though we outlived its usefulness, it would be awesome to keep this aircraft functional for demonstration purposes.

Damaged Grumman TBM-3 Avenger of VT-82 in flight, February 1945. The U.S. Navy Grumman TBM-3 Avenger of Torpedo Squadron 82 (VT-82) "Devil's Diplomats" in flight after the plane above it in her formation was shot down by anti-aircraft fire near Chichi Jima and fell on this Avenger, breaking off the left wingtip and cracking the fuselage just ahead of the tail, circa 18 February - 4 March 1945. The damaged plane was flown by its pilot about 160 km back to its task group but had to crash land in the water. All crew members were rescued. VT-82 was assigned to Carrier Air Group 82 (CVG-82) aboard the aircraft carrier USS Bennington (CV-20).

This is freaking cool! Is being carrier planes the only common thread? They weren't made by the same company, so I guess so. USN Aviation baby!! 🤘
