Yes that is an extremly good shot of the Blackbirds wing.

Just for the info Nicotchch that is the very same Blackbird i posted

(just incase you have not noticed)

EDIT: It was this thread that prompted me to post the pics i had... it kind of suited each other.

I think they devote a little clean to a quick dust and wipe but the years of temperature changes at altitude must have caused the few changes in the overall smoothness of the fuselage and wings, but imagine a plane designed to heat up and then seal the fuel tanks makes you wonder the mind behind it. They didnt use computers to design this machine, they used slide rules like I had in school, LOL. Amazing, simply amazing.
