New strange bird in town. The Black Hawk UH60 which I have flown in quite a few times is being replaced by these. More complicated of course means more maintenance which also means more costs.

SR 71 operating costs, 85-200K an hour. Actual costs still classified.

U-2* Dragon Lady Spy Plane operating costs $30,813

Today reconnaissance satellites are everything.

I actually saw this plane up close at “Hill Airforce Museum” in Ogden Utah. It’s still an engineering marvel despite the insane costs to maintain it.
