M-21 - a version of the SR-71 Blackbird. One awesome plane!

The D-21 Mach 3.3 drone was launched from the M-21 (SR-71) until a fatal crash caused by
issues with safe separation. It was then designed to be air launched by a B-52 with a
rocket booster pack to get it up to speed and altitude. It was expensive and clumsy so it
was cancelled.
