Except the SR-71 was designed to take photos and air samples. It did not have a provision for bombs.

I was at Beale AFB back in 1968-1969. Had a Blue Feather clearance.

Ah Ha! Shows what you know. Even with that BF clearance, you were still kept in the dark about the special Navy version with an enormous bomb load capacity and twin 50’s mounted on the wings. I seem to remember flying off the John C Stennis. LOL! Just another miracle war story kinda like bree-anne williams and his shoot down in Iraq and hildebeast dodging sniper fire. :>}
