Dandy Dave Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I've been out west in the Seattle, WA area. While looking over the aircraft at the Museum of Flight next to Boeing Field I spied not one, but two, Buick nail heads in this power unit that was used to start the Lockheed SR-71. The unit was called, "The Buick" by the ground and flight crews. Dandy Dave! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
