Re: Evergreen Air and Space Museum McMinnville Oregon

Nice museum. I think the SR-71 here is 61-7971 though? I have a photo of 61-7979 at Lackland from last autumn.

Re: Lisbon trip

Very easy to get to Sintra town by local train from Lisbon main train station doesn't take too long and the trains were very frequent and quite cheap from what I remember (was a few years ago though 2003).
