Blackbird Airpark

Lockheed SR-71A (61-7973, Article 2024). On the 21st July 1987 this aircraft was flown back to UASF Plant 42 to estimate repair costs, after the airframe had been overstressed during an air display at Mildenhall, U.K in May of the same year. It was decided to retire the aircraft which had accumulated 1,729.9 flight hours.
It was placed on display at the Blackbird Airpark in September 1991.
