Re: Hill AFB Museum, Utah, June '23 - Outside

Did they not paint one of prototypes in those colours in 76 for the Bi-Centenial?
The Air Force didn't but McDonald Douglas did with the bicentennial F-15

I just had a look on Google Earth and it's the building South of building 707 across the ramp from all the 130s. It's the drive-thru hangar you can tell one side is a car park

Re: SR-71 Hangars at Mildenhall

Originally, I think they used the Team Mildenhall hangar as Shuck says. The U2 also nested there. They then had two purpose-built sheds near what is now the C130 line on the south-west corner of the base.
