I visited the Museum of Flight in Seattle about 3yrs ago. I spent a lot of time around the SR-71. One helluva an aircraft considering when & how it was built & is still awe inspiring to this day. Everything from the materials used in constructing the airframe, to the engines - the 'whole nine yards' was basically designed from scratch. Just amazing - & OBTW, the rest of the museum is very worthwhile visiting if you're ever in the area. I plan on going again soon seeing as it is (relatively speaking) in my backyard. Thanks for the vid Glen.
Edit: I just noticed the P &W J58 engine that was on display (port side) doesn't appear visible in your photo - Has it been moved elsewhere or is it just the angle of the photo hiding it?
Cheers
JB
