Day 247- Blackbird

No, not an actual bird, this is the Lockhead SR-71 Blackbird, one of the most impressive aircraft ever.  It was the fastest and highest flying operational aircraft ever built, capable of flying in excess of 2,200 miles per hour at an altitude of 80,000 feet.  Only 32 were ever built, this one is on display at Lackland AFB here in San Antonio.

=============================================================================

On Saturday I’m driving up to the Dallas-Ft Worth area and spending the night there. I’m meeting several friends, 2 I’ve met before and others I don’t really know, for dinner and a night out, so I’m pretty sure that I’ll have some stories to tell when I return.  I’m not bringing my computer by Sundays picture of the day will be posted later in the day when I return.
