Why would the blackbird fly so high? I looked it up and it says they can fly up to 90,000ft.

It flew so high not only to save fuel, but so it didn’t get blown out of the sky by enemy missiles or planes. Weaponry (and usually radar) of the time wasn’t good enough to fight or track at that altitude. Even if they somehow detected the plane being there, the enemy didn’t have a weapon or plane they could use to shoot it down.
