I've been looking at 4, and thinking of how many 'great aviation projects' were abandoned to rust because they weren't cost effective or 'the funding ran out'. There's the Tu-144, there's the third surviving unfinished Buran, a dozen hulks of old Soviet space mockups and the like. Or Ptichka itself parked up in a hangar covered in a decade's worth of grime. I'd rather something a little obscure like a BAC TSR-2, or the original Avro Arrow.
Or a drawing of an aircraft Boneyard featuring some or all of the above... dirtied and waiting.
It depends on what someone really wants the card to imply. Using Ptichka or an SR-71 (especially if the registration is the right one) implies a chance that the period of boredom might end.
