The SR-71 holds the record as the fastest and highest-flying manned aircraft.  The SR-71B trainer shown here over California's Sierra Nevada mountains had dual cockpits, and almost all controls were duplicated in the intructor's cockpit.  Note the fuel seeping from the wing tanks.  This was a feature of all SR-71s.
