    R/C SR-71 Jet video

    Amazing video and amazing machine.

    It might be worthy to note that the use of "big r/c drone" imaging by the military is going to be scaled back due to poor image quality in "some/many" cases and.....they are going back to the real versions of these.

      Wow! That is really cool. Didn't know they made jet engines that small.

      Brings back memories of 2 years at Edwards Airforce base in the 60s with YF12, XB70, X15 and such. XB70 was a sight to see at take-off and landing.

        Sure was. While on a business trip to Fort Worth, Tx, I had the opportunity to watch the Concorde, which was similar in design and function, land and take off again. One didn't have to worry about sonic booms, the engines on that beast were the loudest I've ever heard.
