Clearly the best plane is the one we dont know about.

These planes still couldn't even get a clear image of us bigfoots

interesting stuff:
1) the SR-71's engine oil was designed to withstand extremely high temperatures and was solid at room temperature
2) the MiG-25 had a tendency to destroy its engines from the sheer pressure of flying at mach 2+ speeds
3) at 10:39 there is a B-2 and an F-117 and these are not reconnaisance aircraft, they are bombers.

These planes can be featured in Assassin's Creed:- Skies

Let's all be honest, the SR-71 really is a badass spy plane.

[Yingalingadingdong]

being the most famous spy is an insult if you think about it

Indian Air Force operated 6 MiG-25 from 1981 to 2006. These were some of the most well gaurded secrets of the Indian Armed Forces, according to some reports only the Prime Minister, Air Force Chief and the pilots of these were aware of them. These were used extensively for recon missions. They were also used for the aerial observation of the Solar Eclipse of October 24, 1995. At one occasion one Mig25 broke the sound barrier during the spy mission over Pakistan by going upto mach 3.

SR71 will always be the most iconic looking plane ever built.

So in conclusion, a third of the video is talking about the Mig 25, while 2/3 of the video is talking about the SR 71. They should just rename it, Mig 25 vs SR 71, which is the better spy plane

The one on the left in the thumbnail is the worst one, that’s clearly Starscream, who does he think he’s fooling ??

[colbyuetake]

I love the SR-71 and despite the Gary Powers incident, the U-2 is probably the actual best reconnaissance aircraft, it was still in use far beyond the SR-71

[kenmcfann]

I saw a blackbird land and take off in 1974 at the air base I was stationed at ...it was very very fast and impressive.

Single seat planes with duel seaters variants were always trainer aircraft....

Even says so in a documentary about it.

With the SR71, it was designed and built with no on-board safety govenors. The thing will litterally keep accelerating and climbing in altitude until it either runs out of fuel or destroys itself and the pilots

That sonic boom was terrifying. Up to this day.

[ClubberOntop]

Ah yes I call them the James Bond Planes
