Schwarzkopf asked during Desert Storm how long to rebuild a SR-71 for 
flight? "He was told 14 days", but we have one ready for flight now. He 
cancelled the request. Your keeping "track" of SR's that are state side
and 
worn out, I am talking world wide. Do you think all the B-52 are being 
destroyed? No they are being retrofitted are all SR's on the ground for 
people to gawk at? no, while space based imagery has grown it still has
it's 
limits and though the Air Force doesn't "officially fly SR-71's any more"
it 
doesn't mean that they aren't being flown and the real list of what's
active 
and what's not, has wide margins. F-117's and B-2's cost just as much to 
fly, the F-111 is a 1960 era air craft and it's still in use, why because
it 
has a special purpose that hasn't been replaced.  There are areas of the 
planet that still require SR operations, BUT the OFFICAL STORY is the Air 
Force doesn't fly them. The Agency does and did all the information was 
given directly to the CIA. The Air Force simply maintained the Aircraft
and 
Supplied Pilots.
