If you want to take a photo of the SR 71 in great lighting conditions you can always go to the display
area just outside of Edwards AFB in California. In the middle of the desert on a concrete slab open
to the elements, (read blazing sun), a pair of Blackbirds, just sitting there...


If I can find the photo's I'll post them as a PAW.

When I went to the new "Hanger", I was amazed by how big the Blackbird
was. It was nearly as big as the Concord, and I hadn't expected that. Of course, I should have realized that not being a fighter and having
such a long range mission would make a bigger plane, but the reality was
surprising.


BTW, Christian is absolutely right about the light being lousy.  Bring
a monopod.

Oh man... you shouldn't have said that. I'd just about have to come over just to see that plane. I am truly fascinated by the SR71 and I'd


love to actually see one. Getting to see one flying would be even better.

Cheers,
