The Air Force 1 Lockheed SR-71A Blackbird USAF 61-17980 Scale 1/72 AF1-0088E is a diecast model of the famed SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft. The real SR-71 was a legendary aircraft that holds the record for the fastest air-breathing jet aircraft ever built. It could reach speeds of over Mach 3.2 and fly at altitudes of over 85,000 feet. The Air Force 1 model is in 1:72 scale, which means that it is 72 times smaller than the actual aircraft.
The model is made of diecast metal with some plastic components. It has realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels, and surface details. The markings and placards are likely pad printed, which means that they are printed directly onto the model and will not fade or peel like decals. The model also likely comes with a stand and landing gear.
The specific aircraft that this model depicts, tail number 61-17980, was one of the SR-71s that was operated by the USAF. It was retired in 1990 and is now on display at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
