I remember hearing sonic booms from a Blackbird over Louisville.Quote:

If anyone is ever in the Tucson area, I highly recommend the Pima Air & Space Museum. They have some SR71 stuff thats awesome. Okay pretty much every thing there is. They even have a NASA guppy, crazy. Plan at least 3 hours, or the whole day if you're really into aviation. Oh & the helicopters! & the Marauder! & the flag from Normandy! & & &...!
