962 in the "barn" at Beale AFB, sporting a unique skull & crossbones emblem.
After 11 years in storage at Lockheed's facility in Palmdale, California, 962 has finally found a permanent home at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, England. She is the only SR-71 on display outside the continental United States. Her arrival makes a fine gift to Duxford in appreciation of Great Britain's putting themselves in harm's way by allowing the Air Force to operate Det-4 out of RAF Mildenhall for so many years.
