Rumors are circulating that NASA is working to get a SR-71 Blackbird flight-worthy again. They had the last flying SR-71 that was retired in 1999 on display and have pulled it into a hangar “for maintenance”. NASA has been in contact with retired crew and crew engineers to see if they are interested in coming back. But thus far the project seems to be veiled in secrecy.
There are several Blackbirds in Museums across the US. Perhaps we will one in the air again.
