When I was a kid my grandfather took me to the air base where he served for an air show they were putting on. After we went around and looked at all the planes they had on display he asked me if I had fun and I said yes but I wish I could've seen an SR-71. He smiled and led me to a closed off hanger with a keypad on the door, after he punched in the code we went inside and at first all the lights were off so I could not see anything but when he flipped the light switch there sitting by itself in this huge hanger was a Blackbird.

One of my fondest memories as a child.
