It's suspended from the ceiling, so the view from below is pretty cool too. This was from the second floor :-)

Madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

Awww... sorry you've never seen an SR-71A Blackbird in person. A mighty impressive machine!

i've been there before. the Blackbird, itself, is actually on three concrete columns that are going from the ground to the landing gear. i wanted to put my hand on the pitot tube, but i would get in trouble for doing that.

just to let you know, the SR-71A has two P&W JT11D-20B (J58) continuous-bleed, afterburning turbo-ramjets.

the x-men blackbird is a large SU-47 BERKUT.
