   How exactly does the CIA fly a de-milled SR-71 that is sitting in a   
   museum with a cut main spar and no engines? Not to mention that the   
   Blackbird takes a special kind of fuel with has to be manufactured   
   in a special refinery run. If someone placed an order for JP-7,   
   then you might be onto something. You also need dedicated tankers   
   to support SR-71 operations. If you can point out which tankers are   
   in the air carrying JP-7, then maybe your story might be possible.   
   In the mean time, no JP-7, and no tankers carrying JP-7, then you   
   have no SR-71 flights.
