Seeing Blackbird fly again after all these years would be incredible. I'd love to know what NASA has planned for it.

Probably because the Pedo-in-Chief saw it in a movie. I swear that's how he gets some of his stupid fucking ideas-- like the reopening of Alcatraz. You can't tell me that moron didn't just finish watching The Rock (nic Cage movie) when he decided that.

Well, Mayday did just come out in September, and that features an SR-71 ish spyplane

A prison for monsters, run by Amelia Earhart.

That sounds awesome

It's actually a plot point in the Rick and Morty spin-off "President Curtis."

His racist sidekick Musk was also obsessed enough to name one of his weird brood after that plane too.

The fun way to watch that movie is from the perspective that it's really a bond movie that doesn't focus on Connery

Never heard the Alcatraz one!

Just visited San Francisco for the first time a few weeks ago, and Alcatraz was dope. Thought it's always been open to the public.

It has been open as a tourist destination, he wants to reopen it as a prison. I went there when I was a kid.
