To make it more authentic you need to have the roof leak and then out out
large metal drip pans around on the floor.

Thanks to Bill Fox, a project coordinator at Lockheed for over 30 years,

we
now have a Blackbird Suite unlike anything you've ever seen. See some

pix
of it at:

http://www.alexisparkinn.com/the_blackbird_suite.htm

Bill donated so much Lockheed artwork and memorabilia that we actually
couldn't use it all! In addition to the Blackbird stuff he gave us a TON

of
U-2, F-22, and F-117A photos that we'll be hanging all over the inn from

now
until the next decade...

Coolest of all -- we've got a REAL pitot static probe off of an SR-71.

That
thing cost $35,000 in 1963 -- and now it's "art" in the suite! And, best

of
all, he donated an autographed photo of the record-setting trans-Atlantic
flight crews. It's not pictured yet on the site (it's still at the frame
shop), but it's probably the slickest thing Bill gave us.

That record has stood now for THIRTY years! (Well, unless you believe in
the mythic "Aurora"?)

Sorry if this offends anyone as "Spam" -- but I'm just too jazzed by this
stuff to NOT share it with y'all... :-)
