Steve Trimble at Aviation Week reports that an SR-71 Blackbird (tail number 844, Air Force serial 61-7980) on display at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center has disappeared. Satellite imagery shows the aircraft has not been visible since at least May 17, 2026. The jet was the last Blackbird produced and the last to fly operationally, grounding in 1999.

“The current disposition of the aircraft is unclear, but Aviation Week sources suggest that the aircraft was moved into a hangar earlier this year for an inspection.”
