Los Angeles Times, March 8, 1990:
The SR-71 Blackbird spy plane - the one that made a 68-minute
flight from California to Washington, D.C. last Tuesday - was
originally called the RS-71. But when President Johnson made the
first public announcement of the Blackbird during a national telecast,
he called it the SR-71. So the designation was changed on 30,000
engineering drawings of the aircraft, making it officially the SR-71.
If the boss says it's an SR-71, it's an SR-71.
