They also destroyed all dies used to build this plane. It was constructed mainly of titanium.

Most of the birds in the museum become museum property by way of donation from the armed services. Except for the Blackbirds. Legally they are still the property of DoD/USAF, and DO NOT THINK OF TOUCHING THE BIRD!
