On display at the American Air Museum at IWM Duxford. This is the only SR-71 on display outside the continental USA as a gift to the UK for allowing SR-71s of DET-4 to operate out of RAF Mildenhall. On 28 Jul 1976 this aircraft set an altitude record of 85,069 feet in horizontal flight. It was the last SR-71 of 9th SRW to leave Kadena AB on 21 Jan 1990. The Blackbird went on display at the museum in 2001 and carries DET-1's 'Habu' symbol on the tail. The hydraulically activated inlet spikes retracted up to a maximum of 26 in. with supersonic airflow for proper compressor inlet pressure.

This Blackbird is known to have flown numerous missions from Kadena AB, Okinawa, Japan. In July 1976 it established a speed record on a run over 15/25km course of 2,193 mph. It was retired by the 9th SRW and flown to Robins for display in February 1990. The name "Ichi Ban" appearing on the tail comes from SR-71A 61-7974 which crashed on a mission out of Kadena in April 1989

On display at Museum of Flight. Article 134 is the first of two built in 1963 and the only one to survive a test loss. It was retired after 80 flights. D-21 'Tagboard' drone #510 for unmanned recce is attached to the spine launch pylon. Launch of these drones at M 3.3 by the Launch Control Officer (LCO) seated in the aft cockpit proved difficult. The 13.1 m titanium D-21 with a max weight of 4,990 kg was powered by a Marquart XRJ43-MA-20S4 ramjet engine that could fly the drone in excess of M 3.3 and 80,000 ft for around 90 min. Only the nose section with the cameras and film was recoverable.

Preserved at Washington-Dulles from 1990.

Habu returning from a mission to Det.4 of the 9th SRW at RAF Mildenhall. The Blackbird flew several times that week. The spy plane made its last flight on 19 March 1990 and was handed over to NASA at Dryden (CA). Became N832NA but returned to the at Beale AFB (CA) USAF after an overhaul at Palmdale on 30 June 1995. Never retire a Blackbird! After its second operational life, it again was handed over to NASA on 14 October 1999. was stored at Edwards AFB (CA) and eventually dismanteled at Dryden. Moved to the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum at McMinnville (OR) for preservation since May 2003.
