An SR-71 would be cool, but then I have no say in this at all. But a Blackbird is still ranked the fastest jet we have wouldn't give him the muscle of a B-2 but makes up for it with sheer speed, and there was something the other day on the military channel talking about how they are upgrading the SR-71's to a new configuration with possible stealth, yes even at those speeds, as well as an inner atmosphere slip stream drive to avoid the whole sonic boom factor and actually hit higher speeds with less g-pull. Still don't know anything certain and there's a chance I guess that the show wasn't being truly truthful, depends how big of a conspiracy theorist you are.
That reminds me of X-Men Evolutions, where Cyclops says, "Twice the speed, and twice the fire power." And all I could think of is, "What?" Because face it, stapping a .45 to the bird would be literally an INFINITE amount times the firepower.
However, the SR-71 itself is a fairly useless plane past it's designation of SR, as we can't DO much with it that we can't already do with other planes cheaper and easier.
