In this picture, a couple feet back on the chine on both sides, there is a
blunted, pushed in area on the chines. Almost looks like the nose ran
into
a round hole in a wall, and dented the chines. Of course, I doubt that
happened.
What is the story with that? I had never noticed that on other models of
the 71. Is that damage, or a feature, and if it is a feature, what is it
designed to do - if you or someone knows?

I just dug this one out of an old file. The SR-71 at Barksdale AFB in
Louisiana has the same indentions.
