BTW, they have an SR 71 in the lobby of the Cosmosphere in
Hutchinson, Kansas and you can walk up and touch it. It is
under going a restoration, but is pretty complete.

airport KHUT on 11th Street.

| To those of you who have reserved a seat for Bill Fox's
talk about his years
| working as a project manager at the Lockheed Skunk Works
during the
| development of the SR-71 Blackbird (7 PM tomorrow --
Tuesday -- night),
| please arrive around 6:30 PM. Seating is limited and by
reservation only,
| so please (for a change!) don't bring a bunch of friends.
|
| HOWEVER -- due to a couple of last-minute cancellations,
we do have TWO
| seats available. If you're at all interested in hearing
Bill's talk, please
| email me ASAP at The talk will
be held in our
| small theater (in lieu of "Movie Night") inside the Alexis
Park Inn &
| Suites, 1165 S. Riverside Drive, Iowa City, IA 52246
|
| Bill is a fascinating guy. If you've ever wondered about
ANYTHING to do
| with the SR-71, or the inner workings of the Skunk Works,
or Area 51 (he
| went on to run the super-secret Groom Lake facility later
in his career),
| this is your chance.

| Blue skies!
