Right now, it has an SR-71 sitting under the right wing. The
blackbird
looks tiny.

My wife and I visited a couple of weeks ago. Terrific Museum. The
SR71
IS small. I'd never seen one up close.

Um, the SR-71 is bigger than a World War II bomber, and almost as big
as a modern airliner.


At the Boeing Museum of Flight they have a Blackbird cockpit that you can
sit in.

All the kids hover around the F-16 cockpit while their fathers sort of stare
at the other in something like teary-eyed wonder. I wonder how many
fully-grown adults throw tantrums when their wives tell them it's time to
get out and let the next guy play.
