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

They would be pretty retired but this probably isn't that far off...

I like the idea that one becomes more and more retired each year after they stop working.

The young punk bad guys in the movie are secretly trying to get an LLM to redesign it, but can't because the Blackbird was a skunkworks program and some key ~~principal~~ princple either never got written down or DOGE cut the funding to restore the microfiche with the details so all the details got destroyed
