SR-71s (and variants) are all over now. Closest to me is Minnesota, but
there's one in Omaha, NE and one in Dayton, OH, too.


One in the lobby of the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, KS.

They've got the A-12 at the Boeing museum, and you can sit in the cockpit of
one that wrecked. It's comical...all the kids line up and fight to get into
the F-18 cockpit. The dads, having abandoned them, can be found lurking
around the Blackbird. I sat in it for awhile and got so engrossed in the
cockpit that I forgot to look out the windscreen.

And, no, I didn't not scream and holler and cry like a baby when it was my
turn to get out. But I thought about it! :
