I don't remember if I touched it or not, but there's an early blackbird at the Boeing Museum of Flight in Seattle. You could get pretty close, if not touching distance.

Here are where the blackbirds are (I looked 'cause I figured there was one at the National Museum of the US Air Force at Wright-Patterson AFB.)

I just dug out my crappy cellphone pics of the SR-71. It's hard finding a good vantage point from which to take a picture of a huge jet inside a building. The shuttle is just a mockup, but I think it may have some real tile.

Which is more bad-ass looking, the Blackbird or the Stealth Bomber?

The Pratt & Whitney J58-P4 engines used in the Blackbird were the only American engines designed to operate continuously on afterburner, and became more efficient as speed increased. Each J58 engine could produce 32,500 lbf (145 kN) of static thrust.
The faster you go, the faster you can go. yikes! The time tunnel blackbirds are the same planes from the future. Blackbirds are by far more badass looking.

One of inchlings friends had a grandpa who was a spook. Apparently, back in the day, the grandpa flew around in a blackbird. His daughter, who is about my age recalled finding a trunk filled with costumes when she was little. She assumed her dad was an actor and that's why he needed all those different costumes.

The (very limited) info for the first pic says it is the new Dreamliner undergoing stress testing. The second pic is Iron Maiden's bar tab. I don't know where the bar is or what unit of currency that is.

I wonder about the currency too. shift the decimals over two places and you have a fairly reasonable tab.
