Seeing Blackbird fly again after all these years would be incredible. I'd love to know what NASA has planned for it.

I saw Shul (and Walter too) speak at an event near my house shortly before he died. He closed with this story, which if I'm honest I'm sure 90% of the crowd was there to hear. It was like the Beatles playing Hey Jude or something.
