It’s the new vehicle Dominoes will use to deliver pizzas. They now deliver them in 12 seconds.
SR-71 was severely G-limited and subject to unrecoverable pitch-up beyond relatively low angle-of-attack maneuvers. Perhaps a more recent design allows more athletic flying abilities combined with the raw speed.
The model tower at the far end of the strip is quite clear.
I think you got it. Try this view: https://www.google.com/maps/@26.9215304,-80.3449756,596a,35y,1.02h,44.78t/data=!3m1!1e3
Heck, it’s not that far from my mother-in-law’s home in Palm Bay!......................
The Air Force has a history of squadron patches often having a representation of the aircraft flown by that squadron on their patch. Our company has created some of these for different squadrons.
For example, the 331 Squadron flies F-16s and one is prominent on their patch.
Some things to make you go hmmmm...
Google “US Space Command Patch” and try to identify the aircraft used in their designs.
In case you are interested, check out the designs for the...
22nd Air Force
392nd Training Squadron
23rd Space Operations
1st Space Operations
These are just a few that have...unique...aircraft on their patches.

Going to be named “The Obomber.”
I am aware of those problems with the SR71, this why I think this is likely a sophisticated drone rather then a manned aircraft. I have had more then one aerospace designer comment to me that we may be passed the age of advanced manned aircraft.
BINGO!
Revell even had a model of it. It looked like a frisbee. Fooled everyone.
I was thinking Tyndall.
If you use the time scroll in GE, go back to the 2/13/2008 view and see it on the model tower.

I joined the Air Force in 1987, and in late 1987 or early 1988, I built a model of the, as of then, not officially announced B-2 Bomber. I remember sitting in an office in the late fall of 1988 waiting on some paperwork somewhere on Goodfellow ABF in San Angelo, TX, when I read a story where it was officially announced.
The Revell model was surprisingly close - the only real difference was how the rear of the wing looked on the model versus the real thing. IIRC, Revell's wing was straight across the back, versus the cut/angled version of the real aircraft.
Revell had been very good generally at ferreting out aircraft designs. But they missed the boat completely on the stealth fighter. Some hitech writers like Clancy got taken too.
