About Blackbird Airpark

Blackbird Airpark serves as a satellite location of the Air Force Flight Test Museum. Its main draw is a display of the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance jet, shown alongside its predecessor aircraft, which the museum describes as the only display of that pairing in the world. The site was formally opened in 1991. The Palmdale location is listed as open Friday through Sunday, and admission is free.
