… Lockheed SR-71. Hier handelt es sich um den Vorgänger, die mir bis dato völlig unbekannte A-12 “Oxcart” oder, wie sie die Piloten später nannten, “Cygnus”. Glowinheat haben nun eine virtuelle Replik des Aufklärers aufgelegt, die sich vor allem durch eine überraschend lange Featureliste auszeichnet. Also, auf zu den Sternen, schnell übers Firmament.

Features:
