SR-71 Blackbird by Lego Monster

Any day I can make even oblique references to the SR-71 Blackbird is a good day, but this model from “Lego Monster” makes today a full-throttle holiday. It’s even got the dual cockpit.

   Now it needs little Byrne-era X-Men minifigs to pilot it to The Savage Land.

   THAT is too cool. My dad was a weight engineer on that project for Lockheed (and I have just a regular scale model sitting here on my desk).

   Does it leak little LEGO pieces until it gets up?

   If it had only the single cockpit, it’d be the infamous CIA version A-12.

   Too bad we mothballed them – they really moved.
