Ahh the mighty SR-71 Blackbird. The fastest air breathing manned aircraft ever built.
Official top speed of 3.2mach, or 2,372mph @ 80,000ft. Unofficially, it could go faster than that. I remember seeing a History Chanel show one time wherein a former pilot was talking about a mission over Israel. He punched the throttle forward to outrun a missile and, in his words, "saw mach numbers I've never seen before." He flew over Egypt so fast that by the time their missile radars locked on he was already out of their airspace/range.
