The place I took the pictures is Beale AFB, CA Looking at Blackbird park from Google Earth I can see the two SR71s, an F117A and a U-2 on the first pad and on the second pad I can make out the B52 (another of my favorites) and the B1 Bomber. If I was on the ground I could proabably make out a lot more of them. Even though the SR71 and U-2 are from the same time frame while the SR was retired years ago the U-2 still flys, in fact out of Beale AFB. You can see them doing touch n gos almost every day. You wanna talk about a fun car ride you should be in one of the U-2 chase cars, it's not the speed or acceleration but the fact you are coming out on the runway almost right underneath the plane as it lands and you are running down the runway directly behind it at around 120mph. I'm jealous of that pic (Tale of Two). Maybe I should talk to our guys to see if I can do one like that with our U-2.
