presuming the pilot is flying from Hanscom, thats 5300km to the UK. Rounding the SR-71s average speed to 1000m/s (for simplicitlys sake) it means that it would take the SR-71 2600 seconds to travel halfway to the UK.
Thats 40 ish minutes. So that's a rather slow penny, but whats even more amazing is that the penny turned into a quarter on its way down...
Trolling aside, most of the Titanium for the SR-71 was sourced from the Soviet Union.

well i suppose he's right if the quarter happens to be possessed by a jew
The F-35 has a top speed of Mach 2.2, over twice the speed of light.
Due to this, it's bombs actually have to be dropped several days after an enemy has been sighted, in order for the munitions to accurately hit (so to time dilation and quantum displacement)
This combination of speed and stealth is why the F-18 Super Lightning is referred to as the first "multi-role" fighter to be used by the US Army Air Corps
