SR-71 61-6976

The newest addition to the 8th Air Force Museum!

She arrived from Edwards AFB, CA on Dec 11, 2003 on the flatbeds of a few trucks.

She was expertly disassembled at Edwards AFB, then transported and reassembled in our parking lot

by Worldwide Aircraft Recovery Ltd., by owner Ben Nattrass and his crew. Great job Guys!

She was dedicated on Dec 17, 2003 – The 100^th Anniversary of Powered Flight!

To imagine that the Wright Bros. first flight was the length of this SR-71!
