Description: This listing is for a piece of mission-flown titanium from the outer skin of an SR-71 Blackbird. This material was recovered from the wreck site of USAF SR-71A 61-7970, which crashed on 17 June 1970 after colliding with its refueling craft. This titanium still has the iconic black paint associated with the Blackbird. The artifact measures approximately 2 cm across, and it's been mounted to an 8x10" photo for display. This item also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity listing its provenance. After the crash, the wreckage was recovered from the crash site in the remote deserts of California. One of these pieces was eventually obtained by Ron Cole, the owner of an aviation museum and art gallery in Ohio. This artifact came from a larger piece purchased from Cole in 2023. The COA accompanying this item includes photos of the original artifact, along with photos of your specific piece being removed from it. Please note that I have several of these for sale, and so you may not receive the exact item in the photos. However, you will receive one of an identical size, with the same type of documentation. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you for viewing this listing!
