redirect? merge?[edit]

It is my opinion that this should not be redirected from suntan as the use of suntan with aircraft is likely unheard of. I'm ex air force and son of a 21 year vet, never heard of the SR-71 called "suntan". Even so, there are no cites, no real information or way to verify the info, and not enough information to justify a seperate article and a redirect. I have removed the redirect for now.

I also feel it should be merged into SR-71 Blackbird as a subsection rather than be a stand alone article for the same reasons, along with the proper cites to substantiate the claims.

I renamed the article with the full name and removed the tags after significant editing. I will also try to make some links here. Knotnic 01:00, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No redirect or merge. What would be the reasoning? This project is tangentially-related to the SR-71 in the same way the 747 is related to the &27, 737, and so on. Keep as a separate article. Jgw (talk) 17:01, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
