Can anyone identify the plane that appears to be refuelling the Blackbird from the rear (not something I've ever heard of before)?! My Google-fu is too weak for this one

What you are looking at is a D-21 Drone which was a ramjet powered pilot-less aircraft launched from the rear of the Blackbird at high altitude. The Blackbird was not capable of in-flight refuelling.
OK Here is a nice Hi-Def Youtube video to blow you all away
5million views in 6 days. I watched the video when it had about 10k. I loaded the video up the next morning and it up 750k. The popularity of youtube is quite mad!
