This artifact is a stunning, Multi-color, example of mission flown SR-71 titanium from SR-71A "Super Skater" (61-7970). This relic was anodized to bring out the beautiful multicolored surface characteristic of this titanium. It measures about 3" in length and consists of two layers of titanium held together by multiple rivets. This aircraft was lost on 17 June 1970 following a post-re-fueling collision with the KC-135Q (59-1474) tanker. Lt. Col. Buddy L. Brown and his RSO Maj. Mortimer J. Jarvis both ejected and survived the accident. The SR-71 crashed in the western Texas desert, but the KC-135 limped back to Beale AFB, California with a damaged refueling boom and aft fuselage.
