Out in California near Palmdale (current Skunkworks?) there's an air park an SR71, YF12, U2 and an M21 just sat there amongst other machinery. Free to enter too.

I was struck that all that power and technology was 1950's / 60's. Amazing.

And just down the road from that is A-12 BUNO 60-6933, on a stick at the San Diego aerospace museum.

The only two seat A-12 is on display outside the California Science Center in LA - it's level with the upper deck of the parking structure which makes for some good pictures.

Even one in the IWM Duxford, although the last time I saw it it was in need of a dust!

Not my video...
