Semantics, what other location has all three in one location, just saying
Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, Chantilly Virginia

Shuttle "Discovery" - amazed how large they are close up.....

Took all of my 10mm (15mm equivalent) to fit the Air France Concorde:

The SR-71a is the first plane that greets you when you enter the museum.

Big points to anyone who can identify this one. (Photo: Bob Brown, I think. I was there when it was taken, though!)

My comment wasn't to say anything all three being in the same location, or not.
Just say all you like, just leave me out of it...
 
well to keep on the Intrepid theme... IMG_7613.JPG

obviously difficult, so photo hint, that should just about give it away...

OK, different continents, different times in history, but where are these?


The past (same place, different direction):

The future??

There's an SR-71 on the main deck of the USS Intrepid in New York (along with a Concorde and Space Shuttle) though none of them ever flew off an aircraft carrier. I never realised they built so many SR71s to be able to have so many in museums.
sorry about the delay replying.

The aircraft pictured is the M-21 variant of the A-12 in the Blackbird family, and is one of just 2 built for the CIA as "motherships" for unpiloted drones.
The other one crashed in an accident caused by launching the drone, which resulted in the program being cancelled, and so the one at the Seattle museum of flight is unique.
The display includes the drone mounted on the pylon on the rear of the fuselage.

Yes, correct.
I thought I would post this one and the location is known however taken during the day and I am pretty sure that is the same sculpture taken from the other side. Your photo is much nicer.

Just another guess it is an old school dragster and looking at the photo there seems to be a person driving on the RHS and the electric poles in the far background could be SA stobie poles. My guess Elizabeth SA?
