SR-71A Blackbird
Lockheed SR-71A Blackbird 17972 of the USAF at the 64-1974 Farnborough air show. Not only was this the first time the SR-71 had been on public display but its arrival was at the end of the fastest Atlantic crossing of 1 hour 54 minutes and 56.4 seconds from New York to London. I believe that this record still stands today.
