This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

FLYING magazine just sent me this, the "Darkstar" film prop is on display at the Palm Springs Air museum.
They will have a series of speakers discussing the aircraft and some interactive features.
The Flying article also gives some information on how Lockheed Martin built it.

That would be fun to see. I have one quibble about the article. It states "(Reality check: The closest a piloted aircraft has come to Mach 10 is the SR-71 Blackbird designed by Lockheed’s Kelly Johnson during the Cold War that reached Mach 3.3 or 2,531.988 mph.)". That is true for an air-breathing piloted aircraft, but the X-15 reached Mach 6.7 or 4520 mph.
