As if having the world’s only Lockheed SR-71B wasn’t cool enough…. the Air Zoo is over-the-moon excited to announce an all-weekend event centered around this incredible machine, the “Blackbird.” Distinguished guests, including several of the men that flew this very aircraft to train pilots for strategic reconnaissance missions during the height of the Cold War, will be on-site to share stories, answer questions and… wait for it… tour the cockpit! This event will span the weekend of October 4th, 5th and 6th. Complete schedule and ticketing will be available soon. Interested persons should keep an eye on the Air Zoo calendar as well as social media platforms for more information on this event that celebrates the fastest aircraft ever flown!
