In the days leading up to the start of the Circum-Pacific War, the most well-known use of the SR-71 was done by the Yuktobanian Air Force, performing a recon mission near Cape Landers in Osea. An Osean Coastal Defense Force SAM site managed to hit the plane, but it kept on flying towards low altitude at sea in an attempt to flee.
