Nice story. One of the SR-71's is in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, next to Dulles Airport. It arrived there from LA in one hour, 4 mins. It's there along with the Wright Brother's plane, the Enola Gay and a space shuttle. Nice
progress in just 80 years. SR71 was flying about 60 years after the Wright Brothers. Shows what we can do when we really try.
