Default My Bird with the Blackbird
I lucked out at a car show that my class was right next to the SR-71 Blackbird. For you youngsters this jet holds the aircraft speed record (not including rockets and such) and it's 1950s technology-imagine that!

Nice. Love that plane. I have a model at home of it. Love the car too by the way. That first picture is so cool with the eyes in your head rest.

The headrest has a 4th Gen bird, but I see how the steering wheel made it look that way, another luck out. Thanks for the good words.
