My late husband had a picture of the SR-71 on his desk at work.

And no, he did not work in the aerospace industry...He just LOVED that Aircraft!

My wife says she had a poster of the SR-71 in her bedroom when she was a child.

I'm also a big SR-71 fan and tell this story over & over.

The Skunk Works in Palmdale has a Gift Shoppe (honest!). I ordered some knickknacks from there -- refrigerator magnets, coffee mug, license plate frame, etc.

The box they sent the stuff in was a standard USPO mailing box sealed with the cheeriest Smiley Face tape and cushioned inside with the local newspaper. There was also a big Smiley Face drawn on the enclosed receipt.

They're a cheery bunch there at Black Ops Central.
