Adam: They’ve had a couple different static SR-71s at Pima Air & Space Museum, among my very favorite planes also. They had a big todo when they set up a display, a panel of pilots that flew them talked about how wild it was. Excuse the quality of the photo from ~2006 taken with a slider phone potato cam.

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 😬

Somehow I have no photos of _me_ on the rig or of the cockpit cause cell phone photos in 2006 reasons I guess but we got to like _look in one_, it was extremely cool. Pima Air & Space is so good, cannot recommend it enough if you’re in the burning desert anyway.
