Well, aircraft have really long development cycles. True, the A-12 was around a long time before the SR-71.

Amazing that when they retired it we did not have any airplanes better. Then there was the "donuts on a rope" contrail and then the re-activation of the Blackbird, then the retirement later.

I am not sure if we do have jets with that performance or if everthing is satellites and UAVs now. No one cares if a UAV with no onboard memory storage gets shot down.
