Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird flying above the snow-covered southern Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.

Great shot of the plane, great background, very high res, best pic in article, also fits in the backgrounds category.

Support. The classic SR-71 photo. — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-03-23 17:43
Support Looks good. It would perhaps be wise not to rely too heavily on pictures provided by the American military (or NASA) when building a portfolio of featured images. It is another kind of systemic bias encountered in Wikipedia. –Joke 17:56, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Until you can come up with a source that rivals the US govt for good pictures I think its bound to happen. -Ravedave 18:52, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Promoted Image:Lockheed SR-71.jpg --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 03:54, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to move the featured picture tag to Image:Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird.jpg, which is the same image, except it's 2.8 times larger, and it's on the Commons. How is it that no one who voted noticed that the picture that was nominated was only a thumbnail? Anyway, I'm then going to update links to the thumbnail and nominate it for deletion.
