That is cool! Definately a couple of blackbirds, Man they are big aren't they.

I went all over that installation and never, not once did I see a blackbird.

There were at least 3 B1-b's, some tankers and all kinds of smaller aircraft, but not one Blackbird.

How about some more:

Two blackbirds and a U2!

Yep, they were used by the Dryden Flight Research Center, but the last time NASA had one of those pictured up in the air was in 1999.

from a random web page
The USAF still kept a few SR-71s in operation up until 1998, after a few were brought back to service in 1995. NASA's DFRC at Edwards AFB, CA flew the SR-71 from 1991 until its final flight in October 1999.
