The SR-71 Blackbird aircraft, designated as OBCD, began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Beale Air Force Base, which is located at KBAB. This taxiing process took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Once ready, the aircraft took off from runway 15, utilizing 42% of the runway's length, which is 1,548 meters. The takeoff speed was 244 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.

As the aircraft departed the runway, it initiated an enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Beale Air Force Base. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,169 feet above sea level to 6,844 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,675 feet, in just 2 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then continued on its journey, initiating an enroute descent 2 miles west of Auburn Municipal Airport, which is located at KAUN. The descent from 6,796 feet above sea level to 4,456 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,340 feet, took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered an enroute level cruise, starting 4 miles south of Penn Valley, California. This cruise phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles.
