The Blackbird is a titatnium-skinned, supersonic spy plane created by Skunkworks in the 1960's. Reputed to attain Mach 3+, it has also set the altitude record for a jet powered aircraft. Highly successful photographer of the Soviet Union in the Cold War, the SR-71 was extremely expensive to operate. Mostly decommissioned in the late 90's, NASA still flies a few for research purposes.
The SR-71 Blackbird pours fuel onto the tarmac, and must be refueled after take-off.

1: A supersonic spy plane used in Cold War era, flys at Mach 3 plus, exact top speed classified, cliamed to be fastest plane in the world, nicknames: "Sled" "Blackbird"
2: A true punk rock band, not anything like Green Day, who sell out and cut themselves for publicity. They have guitar skills to rival some classic rock, they are original, not tools, they don't wear dog collars or spike their hair like Fallout Boy. Basically, they rock.
1: Man, the SR-71 is like, way fast.
2: Dude, SR-71 wrote some of the greatest punk songs of all time.

A really good decent band that was overshadowed by Korn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, and the like.
