NWA was showing it off to the pilots. Apparently if they take pay cuts the company promises to bid for them.

There's been a A-12 Blackbird (SR-71) at the Minneapolis Air Guard Museum (@ MSP) for maybe 10 years. I'm assuming the one along the northside of 30R/12L is the same one, but just moved.

Tried to visit that museum last weekend, was turned back by the guards. Obviously the museum is under renovation, and probably will open sometimes next May... and i guess the blackbird is gonna be one of the exhibit as well.

On another note, i've heard that we'll be doing MSP->RST hi-speed using the blackbird startin this winter. Though there won't be no window seats, but the ride is super quick!
