That's the American spelling. This happened in the UK
On this Day 1914 the SR71 was the first fighter jet to fly in space. Developed by boffins in Hangar 8 at LARPA (Lutons Advanced Research Projects Agency) it was first flown by Sqn Ldr Chuck "Chucky" Chuckling, the SR71 could fly at Mack 7.1 and used super unleaded petrol! #AvGeekpic.twitter.com/5i0EjcJMPb

Sadly never flown in anger as super unleaded petrol was only invented in 1984 .
