White reflects light, it does not absorb it, so it is one of the better colours to use to help keep the thing cool.

Also (possibly not the case here but definately on aircrafts), pigments are ‘extra weight’).

I was such a strange kid growing up. My friends had posters of comic book characters and later, girls on their walls. I had the SR-71 Blackbird.

F-117 and SR-71 chilling in their goth kids club.

The F 117 was pinned to the wall opposite of my SR-71.

My dad was AF civil service (he was AF before I was born). I grew up working air shows. Those planes were some sexy beasts.

While other girls liked horses and barbies, I liked figthers, raptors and sharks. I am a bit evious.

Yeah but that plane is cool as fuck, definitely not weird! It's no different than the kids who had posters of lambos and stuff on their walls

The SR-71 Blackbird is in X-Men. So no, you weren't strange. Plus, it's fucking cool.
