1990 SR-71 sets a transcontinental record, flying 2,404 miles in 1:08:17

BTW, I have been looking at some Vickers Vimy Pics and I am pretty sure that it is a Vimy. The box kite tail and the nose skid seem to be prominent ID features of a Vimy.

G'nite all, we have a small thunderstorm moving through at the moment.
