Fixed it for you. Nice job by those guys - they obviously weren't pushing the envelope if that thing can do a barrel roll in level flight and not lose altitude. It could probably have flown far higher as well.

Being an SR-71 lookalike, I admit to a slight disappointment of no camera footage from the plane's POV. That is, after all, what those were all about.

Thanks Doug - reason I posted is that without a size ref in flight or takeoff you would not know that it is a model.

They have one at Duxford England (the Imperial War Museum) and I had the privilege to see it up close in the flesh.
