As to the color...that is yet to be determined since at night you can't see my flat six, black steel steed as it slides rapidly... oh so silently from behind only letting you get a quick look of its fast dimming tail light quickly moving into the far distance ahead. Is the black faster you wonder as it vanishes from view?

Now you know why the world's fastest air-breathing aircraft - the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird is black like my F6B.
I tried to have my F6B painted that color but my security clearance expired the day I retired.
