Did the SR 71 fly around for years without refueling?
I meant flying at earthβs orbit, never being shot down, titanium, etc.
Except when one engine,un-starts and kicks you into a spin,at mach 2,other than that they were fine....

No airplane does "earth orbit." The service ceiling for the F-22 is 65,000 feet. For the U-2 it is 80,000 feet. For the SR-71 it is 85,000 feet (or what they will admit).
