Stratosphere was up & running in 1996. Last flight of SR71 was 1999

Good fake. I fell for it before I remembered that they would never perform those maneuvers over a metropolitan area.

Unfortunately there are no flyable SR-71’s in existence.

Now for SR-72’s, that’s a different story.

If I recall the SR-71 had a distinguishable sound signature it made as it broke the sound barrier. I heard it would make a bang!-bang! noise in quick succession due to the nose cone and jet engine configuration. Instead of a single bang! you hear on other jets as they go supersonic.

Is it just me or can I hear the missile guidance system in the background?

In 1989, the USAF retired the SR-71, largely for political reasons; several were briefly reactivated during the 1990s before their second retirement in 1998. NASA was the final operator of the Blackbird, using it as a research platform; it was retired again in 1999.

Looks good, just needs a shock cone visual effect around the craft as it hits the sound barrier. Fun clip!

Really nice camera work on this! I especially liked where you zoomed in and showed the afterburners kick in. Thanks!

Imagine having an aircraft that flies faster and outruns anything that is shot at it.

Tks for sharing all these. So cool to be able to artificially live it real day thru a simulator of all things. Cellphone camera simulator 😂

[TylerVogel]

Damn it I thought that they brought my favorite plane back into service. Nice fake I loved the car alarm going off at the sonic boom

[frankymr]

If i did not play DCs i would have tough this was real. But if you pause it at certain points you can see its DCS, like the tower .

0:10 should give it away. Look at the hotel lol. This is most likely Microsoft Flight Sim. Great job on this prank.

[talen]

i was tracking what was happening on the las vegas base with all the jets on flight radar but as soon as i turned it off to go to school they start flying a

[mikecernile]

Lol the alarm is awesome. Never saw it fly but have seen it in DC at the museum.
This is a great video, almost looks real. If was going fast enough the break sound it would be moving much faster.

I saw shipping container cranes and thought to myself there's no shipping lanes in Las Vegas

Its from Microsoft flight simulator 2023
