Is this in the Lancaster / Palmdale area? I've vague recollections of
reading about it when I was in Ca a few years ago, but never got to see it.

Although not aircraft, the NAWC at China Lake has a few nice missiles
(tomahawk sidewinder etc) in it. Not sure if they've reduced the security,
but you used to be able to get on 'base' if you spoke nicely to the marines!

I recommend Blackbird Airpark:
http://www.edwards.af.mil/museum/doc...d_airpark.html

It has the first Blackbird (the A-12 prototype), an SR-71 (slightly
bent), and a D-21. Plus a J-58 engine and wind tunnel models.
The A-12 was the first aircraft to reach Mach 3 and return in one
piece.

There's another little museum next to it with a variety of aircraft.
