I was there for the last flight of the SR-71, and I am pretty
sure that it was 1999. As I recall, they only flew on the Saturday
of the show, the SR-71 has a fuel leak problem, and had to scrub
on Sunday, then never flew again.


Fast Eddie is still a little disappointed by that, I think. He was
supposed to fly the Sunday flight.
