Seeing Blackbird fly again after all these years would be incredible. I'd love to know what NASA has planned for it.

You need to deliver the drones to the location of interest though. And regularly bring fresh ones I guess. A stealthy and fast as fuck delivery platform would make sense.

I don't think the SR-71 has much cargo space if that's what you're suggesting.

Imagining an SR-71 crewmember now opening a little hatch and awkwardly shoving little drones out, to see them instantly torn apart in the winds at the slowest speed it can go, 850 km/h.
