LASRE POD
Here is a look at the Linear Aerospike SR Experiment (LASRE) pod on NASA SR-71, tail number 844. This photo was taken during the fit-check of the pod in 1996, at Lockheed Martin Skunkworks in Palmdale, California. The LASRE experiment was designed to provide in-flight data to help Lockheed Martin evaluate the aerodynamic characteristics and the handling of the SR-71 linear aerospike experiment configuration. #blackbrid #sr71 #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

KC-10 tanking a Blackbird
Not a frequent sight, still a beautiful one with a Blackbird tanking off of a KC-10! Gives a great size comparison of the two. #kc10 #sr71 #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari
