BenRad: Much better! — Subium • Bluesky web client

me: idk what to do while sick youtube: do you want to watch an hour long professionally animated deep dive into explaining what makes the lockheed sr-71 blackbird so cool me: wellllllllll shucks i reckon i could be inclined

like dude how'd they do all that shit without CAD? that's so fucking cool

me looking at any plane designed before the 90s but especially any fucked up shit lockheed made, concorde, and/or any 747 model

I swear I love the SR-71 so much and it's only made cooler because they made it in a cave with a box of scraps. I really need to get my shop open so I can post up tribute items, retvrn to the wireframe blackbird apparel. concorde would be lovely as well

I have a soft spot for it as well. My family is big into aviation, and we went to see the “Bye Bye Blackbird” exhibit when they finally completely phased it out. Planes were a big thing for us. I even went to aviation camp! But that got REALLY militaristic really fast 😬

This was 10 years ago and the SR-71 could have been a bit more visible, but I think I stood and stared at it for an hour until my family made me move on.

oh i would absolutely stare at it for an hour+ if i went there with ken. i think they'd probably go explore everything else by the time i'd be done

The SR-71 is right when you walk in. But that building also houses the Discovery. You're probably too young to have much attachment to the Shuttle Program though.

It's right behind it! You can stand looking at the back of the SR-71, turn around, BOOM there's discovery right there

i fired up the PC to share the pics I got of the two of thems one of the handful of times I've gone to Udvar-Hazy :D

Much better!

hang on i gotta manage expectations here check out this one from when i was dialing in the settings lmfao
