I thought that said "US delivered a present today" and was about to ask who we bombed.

Once I saw the price of the 2003 limited edition print, this hurt less :D

About $100, so I either totally got a steal or totally got stolen from.

That's still a related topic, right?

I'd say so. Just seeing the bomber and the phrase "delivered a present today" made me immediately think we blew up the Middle East today.

You lucky motherfucker! The last time I actually looked, they were going for $500+!

The Blackbird was a spy plane, though. So it's more like, who did we take pictures of while we blasted through their back yard at Mach 3?

Well shit, that's a lot less fun. I thought they could bomb too? Drones are far less bad ass than those though, we should bring them back. (Save yourself the obvious "keeping pilots out of the air saves lives" reply, I was kidding. Drones are good for spying)

They did kick around the idea of making an interceptor version (the YF-12), but McNamera put the kibosh on that.

I believe they brought back some U-2s to use in Afghanistan. From what I understand, they decided against bringing back the Blackbird instead because it would be too expensive to operate
