The Roswell crash was in '47 and ten years later the SR-71 was in the planning stages ( I believe ) can anyone say REVERSE ENGINEERING? haha

That was a great read. I love those planes. I wish I could have seen one fly, only got to see the static dwon at Lackland. Anyone know that is still there correct? Been a while since I have been down there.

We have one here at the Hill AFB Museum. They are beautiful pieces of equipment.
