This is the U-2 Dragonlady, it was suggested by KingDeadshot. the U-2 is a high altitude renascence aircraft used by the U.S during the cold war to photograph russian nuclear missile silo's. it was used to photograph the silo's up to the point that one was shot down by a russian SAM. then the U.S decided to make a plane that could fly at an even higher altitude, that plane was the sr-71 blackbird, soon the u-2 wasnt was used less and slowly replaced by the sr-71, which also fell out of use as there was no need for high altitude renascence. -BlueWhiskyYT

    @Plasma search u-2 dragonlady, and if you look at one that shows the back of the supposed "fuel pods" you can see a small hole. thats a part of a jet engine
