Dusting the SR-71 Blackbird

Dustin is stretching to reach a spot on the SR-71 Blackbird as they dusted it this afternoon in preparation for this weekend’s Apollo 13 events.

While you might not think about it, it does need to be dusted on occasion. Dante is working on it, too.

When you walk in the door at the Cosmosphere, the Blackbird is hanging overhead. It was America’s first “stealth” plane, although its greatest defensive technique was its speed – literally faster than a speeding bullet.

Dante and Dustin were working on the main body and Bill was working on one side.

Bill also worked on the T-38 to get it ready for this weekend.

It’s interesting to walk under these every day at work. I was thinking today that it’s really nice to be in a job where I can talk about what happens at the office. When I worked in the mental health field I could never say much about my work to anyone for privacy reasons. And I was ultra conscientious about privacy issues.

Now I don’t have to edit what I say about work. And cool things happen in my work day – like people dusting blackbirds – so it’s fun to share it..
