SR-71 BLACKBIRD-WORLD'S FASTEST AND HIGHEST FLYING AIR BREATHING ENGINE MANNED AIRCRAFT SET 4 WORLD SPEED RECORDS ON RETIREMENT FLIGHT 3/06/1990 COAST TO COAST FLIGHT - LOS ANGELES, CA TO WASHINGTON, D.C. PLUS 3 OTHER WORLD RECORDS. THIS AIRCRAFT IS PERMANENTLY RETIRED AS THE STAR ATTRACTION AT THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE, UDVAR HAZY AVIATION GALLERY IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

A WORLD INTERNATIONAL RECORD FLIGHT IS REGISTERED WITH THE FEDERATION AERONAUTIQUE INTERNATIONAL (PARIS, FRANCE) BY THE HOST COUNTRY NATIONAL AERONATIC ASSOCIATION. A FLOWN SIGNED DOCUMENT IS REQUIRED FOR ATTESTATION..

THIS LETTER AND SIGNED FLIGHT FLOWN NEW CRISP U.S TREASURY $1.00 BILL IS SIGNED BY THE FLIGHT CREW AND NATIONAL AERONAUTICS ASSOCIATION CHAIRMAN OF CONTESTS & RECORDS CHUCK TIBBETS.

THE $1.00 BILL SERIAL NUMBER AS NOTED IN THE LETTER MATCHES THE ATTESTATION CERTIFICATE STATING IT WAS ON BOARD THE LOCKHEED SR-71 RECORD FLIGHT ON MARCH 6, 1990.  

PLEASE SEE PHOTO CLOSE UP FOR THE 4 WORLD RECORD DETAILS. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS A ONE OFF (WHICH I SUSPECT DUE TO THE U.S. TREASURY BILL MATCH).  IT IS CONCEIVABLE THAT THEY MAY HAVE USED A PHOTO COPY FOR THE REGISTRATION. I PURCHASED AN ALBUM DETAILING THIS ENTIRE FLIGHT FROM THE FAMILY OF A CIVILIAN ADMIN WHO SPENT THEIR CAREER WORKING AT BOTH 9TH SRW AND THE AIR FORCE HISTORY OFFICE. 

I WILL EMCLOSE 2 MAJOR NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS OF THIS EVENT AS WELL AS A COPY OF A CREW AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO TO THE ADMIN THANKING THEM FOR THEIR WORK ON THIS PROJECT FOR COA PURPOSES.
