For Blackbird fans, the Intrepid museum in New York (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrepid_Sea,_Air_&_Space_Museum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrepid_Sea,_Air_&_Space_Muse...) has a real one on display; technically it's an A-12, the reconnaissance version. That's in addition to a Concorde, that you go over :) and a space shuttle that you can't :(
Perhaps it was due to the aircraft's larger-than-life reputation, but the real thing was rather smaller and must less striking that I was expecting :(
- logbiscuitswave 4y agoThe Seattle Museum of Flight also has an A-12 Blackbird (an M-21), and a Concorde that you can actually walk through. No space shuttle, but they do have a Shuttle Trainer Crew Compartment that you can walk through. It’s well worth a visit if you’re in the Seattle area and are into aviation or space stuff.
