Don't forget, guys: the museum will be closed for renovations starting October 1st; they plan to re-open next May...


Nice shots, 2992- it's hard to shoot there when people are milling about...
I see they no longer have the airstair set up next to the Blackbird so you can look inside... too bad.
Believe it or not, that one is a 2-seater- not a trainer, I think, but for carrying "special" passengers (couriers, spies, etc. )... no windows at all back there; must be a very strange ride.

That's not an SR-71. It's an A-12 used by the CIA.

Right side from the Island forward, looks to me to be a Fury, Tiger, Demon, Phantom and then before the Tomcat, there is something with wings stowed,... ? possibly the Intruder ?

It would be a dissapointment, at high winds to see that Concorde stray of that barge. (note the rudder deflection....)Nice photo's!

Is that F-14 the NASA test-bed one?

How the hell did they land concorde on that barge

How the hell did they land concorde on that barge

Very, very carefully... but the barge was probably being towed at about 100 knots by a large hyrdrofoil.
