(whenever I see a subject I am curious about (in this case SR-71), I do a Google Image on it.)

One of my favorite planes just happened to show up at a little field here in the desert a while back. I like mine V-12 X 2 with some supercharging, thank you.

Well not really. This one had a hydraulic leak and sat for a few days. I have yet to see one in the air.

I'd love to see P38 flying having only ever seen them in a mueseum. Havng said that I'd also like to see and English Electric Lightning in the air again, or best both.

They let you go on board "all" of them. Really cool to see how the president and his men traveled. Dew.
