New SR-71 installation

The Science Museum of Virginia has moved in a Blackbird (the one from the Virginia Aviation Museum) and has it in a left-banked nose-down suspended display that is really quite striking. I got to see it up close today.

Set aside eight minutes to watch this timelapse. You'll see some internal structures of a Blackbird as well as a really ingenious "ship in a bottle" assembly.
