Such a stunning aircraft! Maybe you was hanging out of another plane you was looking around in?

Good picture! My photos of the Blackbird at Farnborough have a rosy cast to them, something that tended to be a feature through the years. Was this anybody else's experience?

Thanks gents, Orion, maybe some metal content in the paint perhaps?

Are you referring only to photos of the SR-71 or to photos from the film era in general? If the latter, the (very common) red cast was due to the film itself becoming too warm, perhaps due to the camera being left on a windowsill or on the parcel shelf of a car.
