[edit] Only SR-71B?

I saw in DYN that the air zoo had the only SR-71B... I thought I saw one at the Kansas Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas. Am I thinking wrong? I don't know anything about the subject, I just thought I remembered seeing one in the main lobby enterance. ----Steve 21:16, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't know about a SR-71B...but there's most definately a SR-71A on display in the American Air Museum at Imperial War Museum Duxford, UK.

The SR-71A #17961 is on display at the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center in Hutchinson. Not a SR-71B. --Schmackity 04:54, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh, ok. Gotcha. I figured it was a different machine, but wanted to check. ----Steve 17:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

The SR-71B has two cockpits which were used for training purposes. There were two, one crashed and the Air Zoo has the remaining B model. The A model only has one cockpit. 69.128.151.162 22:40, 19 October 2007 (UTC)Winchester94

No problem! Besides I just found out about this myself! --Schmackity 18:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

what's up...just wanted to make a comment regarding the interesting facts section: the f9f also flew with the cats in the early 90s, ill try to find a picture.

alright I just registered; I wrote the comment above. got some other fun stories from the kzoo azoo from the 90s...when they had the money the place was pretty fun. The best one took place when I was really young, this might have even been the late 80s, but they had a couple of super tomcats at their (then yearly) airshow. They made a low supersonic pass on pretty much half the town. blew the windows right out of this warehouse behind the airport. rumor got out that they got suspended, but no confirmation.

might want to add something about tri-motor flights. SHatch 01:32, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
