Re: Pictures for you web wheelers.
I remember doing a book report and building a paper-and-cardboard model of
the B-70 in 4th grade, circa 1979...there was a book on it in the school
library. Of course by the time I got to it the B70 program was no longer
around.
Never saw an SR-71 in flight but I did see the one (amongst a lot of other
really neat stuff) at the American Air Museum at Duxford, UK a couple years
ago. The final flight crew had signed all their names on the inside of the
forward landing gear door.

Re: Pictures for you web wheelers.
Can you provide me reference to this ...I've heard otherwise from a number
of sources. I've heard that Eisenhower was aware of and supported the
creation of the U2 as early as 1954.

Re: Pictures for you web wheelers.
Like pretty much everything non-Jeep, the only evidence he could
provide would be written on a small roll of soft paper that has
convenient perforations allowing it to be separated into sheets
as needed.
Now granted the CIA may not be the best source of information, but
their declassified U2 project report notes that Eisenhower was
aware of the flights from the beginning [1956] but was against
them due to the risks involved.
A similar claim was made by Harry Stine, who would be suspected
of knowing...

When I was at Wright Patt, there was a B70 parked outside at the Air
Force museum, worth seeing even parked. In flight it looked like a
Concorde on steroids and crank.
