A few years after NASA retired the last few SR-71s for good the Air Force realized they sill wanted the unique capabilities it offered. They raised the question with NASA - how much would it cost to bring some of them back into service. This was before all the spare parts were scrapped and the fuel still available.

They were given some multi-million dollar figure to get it done but the Air Force balked at the cost.
