The SR-71 movie everyone seems to forget is called Final Approach with Hector Elizando as the Dr. and James B Sikking as the pilot. It was also featured in the movie D.A.R.Y.L. .

Cool air/space craft in Above and Beyond. Didn't like the series though. Pilots also taking part in ground-attacks? Anyone who has any knowledge of the military knows that isn't the case.
Marine attack aviation flies the AV-8 Harrier II, and the single-seat and dual-seat versions of the F/A-18 Hornet. The AV-8 Harrier II is a VTOL aircraft that can operate from amphibious assault ships. The F/A-18 can only be flown from land or aircraft carriers. Both are slated to be replaced by the F-35B.
