Don't know if it's still there, but there was a retired Blackbird sitting on the tarmac at the museum at Offut Air Base in Bellevue, Nebraska a couple years back when I was there. Walked around it, touched it...one of the most amazing aircraft in history, IMO.

Dont forget the US Air FOrce Museum in Dayton Ohio...walk right up and put ur hands on SR-71, F-22 Etc...Been there 7 times and can return year after year...Last special presentation were all the past AF-1's that you could walk thru....seen guys leaving there in tears.....planes are displayed in original flight colors and many Old Timers come apart when they see the old war birds they flew in like new condition.

Dont Miss it....Daytom Hamvention weekend :-)

None of the planes are on the tarmac now. They are all in the SAC museum on I-80 southwest of Omaha, NE. And, yes the SR-71 is in the collection.
