“The Blackbird was the most awesome aircraft I ever saw! “
There’s one at the Pima Air Force Museum in Tucson. Also Ike’s Air Force One. Also several different Migs. It’s a neat place.
My daughter was on the F22 program for a while. She had never seen a 71 in real life. I have always been a SR71 buff so we went to the Tucson museum one day a while back to see it. She stood there mouth agape for quite some time. I think the only words out of her were “My God, we did this in the 50s?”
That plane will impress people 500 years from now. There are a ton of stories about it on the net that are mindblowing to read. And if anyone has a copy of “Sled Driver” they’d like to give to a good cause ...... ;)
