That was the intention, it also has the same curve as the deck lid.LIke I said before that rear wing makes it look like a nascar from the day. Does it have a curve to it? Oh yes I have heard of the sr71 never seen one tho.
My understanding is that SR-71s spent a lot of time stationed on Okinawa, and the locals there named it "Habu" after a venomous snake on the island.

Lot's of nicknames. Stationed around the world. In the day.
All I can say is Mach 3+ might be a tad under at full throttle.
At decommision NASA did a great job of getting them to museums. Far as I know Edwards AFB is only place maintaining a still flying example. Triva, who knows where the 2 surving SA-1's are .
