Very cool.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_SR-71_Blackbird I didn't realize they built 32 of them. I figured it was even fewer. Want.

I went to a museum in Kansas that was built around one. They can't be privately owned, but the museum has an agreement with the Air Force where if the plane ever has to be returned, the Air Force pays for the reconstruction.

 My favorite nugget about the Blackbird is the fact that when someone somewhere breaks a Blackbird speed record, we break one out of mothballs, and go just fast enough to get the record back. Kinda like Milton Berle and his giant schlong. Someone once asked him just how big it was, and Berle said "I don't know kid, I just pull out enough to win."

I almost touched a Blackbird, here. Famously, the plane the X-Men flew.
