The SR-71, A2, and U-2 in the first link are at Blackbird Park in Palmdale. You can walk up to them and touch 'em, it's very cool. That's where I got my first 'Remove before flight' keyfob.

Here are some vintage aircraft near LAX.

I can see the checkered building from my office. They filmed the touching "I'm gonna die" scene from Space Cowboys under that SR-71.

All static, although Paul Allen used to store a P-51 and a P-38 there. I was outside the plant when the Lightning flew in ... saweet.
-
yeah I bet.
Can you bribe someone to let you into the B-29?

They have open plane days every once in a while, I'll let you know next time I hear them advertise it. I have a pic somewhere of me in the cockpit of a B-25. Dang they were small.
-
Awsome...
I will one of these days call Chino and find out how much I need to donate for about 10 minutes of just sitting in their F4U. Well that and some privacy... and maybe a tissue!:D

I know this thread is a year old, but I didn't really want to start another new one. Anyhow, I thought this was cool:

Here are three Oscar SSGNs and one SSN that I can't ID (Probably an Akula, maybe late Victor).

NM... Russia, I think.

On the upper right here is one of my favorite planes, the Be-12. On the Upper left is the IL-38 (another ASW platform, similiar in appearance to the US P-3) centered at the bottom is an An-12 and two Mig Interceptors (25s or 31s, I can't tell the difference).
