How cool is this! SR71 assembly at Skunk Works c. 1965. It looks like a scene out of Star Wars in the Rebel Alliance X-Wing fighter Bay.
My dad helped build out , field and maintain this aircraft , working out of the Skunk Works and up at the ranch . Very proud of my old man . He had been an original member of the newly minted USAF ,transitioning over from USAAF/9thAf to the new SAC in 1947 . The greatest generation .

Cool. I made it as far as the LBJ Ranch (not the one in Texas) one Christmas (winter of love), but was west of Tri Province area in time for Chinese New Year. (No, I’m not John F’n Kerry.)
