Home of the "B@$tard" Blackbird - Hill Aerospace Museum Walkaround

Join me for my second visit to the Hill Aerospace Museum at Ogden UT.

With over 70 aircraft on display, and thousands of historical Air Force artifacts, Hill Aerospace Museum offers an incredible opportunity for discovery and excitement for the whole family!

Founded in 1981, the museum is part of the United States Air Force Heritage Program and is supported by the Aerospace Heritage Foundation of Utah.

There are a number of significant and unique aircraft in the museum, but perhaps none more than the "B@$tard" - the SR-71C which was made using the back of a YF-12A (prototype intercepter version of the Blackbird), and the front of an SR-71A (further altered with the SR-71B type of raised second cockpit). A direct link to read about the B@$tard is provided below, and it has it's own chapter at the end of the video.
