   Now that the SR-71 has been retired for 2 months, where do you go to see
   a Blackbird on display?  

   Of specific interest is the one delivered to DC for the Smithsonian, as
   I'm going down to DC in two weeks.  Smithsonian's "information pack"
   arrived in the mail yesterday & doesn't say a word about it.  Is it
   accessable to the public yet?  If so, where?  A hanger out at Dulles?

For those of you in Southern California, there's an SR-71 on display
(as part of the public tour) here at Dryden.

The tour, which includes a movie and hangar tour, is at 1015 and 1315
every Federal workday.  It's free.  (If the Shuttle is in orbit or
about to land here there's no tour, though.)  You can check by calling
(805) 258-3446, between 0730 and 1600 weekdays.
