SR-71 Blackbird - Titanium Fragment - Display Card

This specimen is a fragment of an inner ejector filler (aka "turkey feather") from SR-71 61-7972. This plane was retired in 1990 and is currently on display in the Smithsonian's Air & Space collection at the Udvar-Hazy Center. Opening and closing according to the pressure output of the afterburner, engine nacelle exhaust ejectors are considered one of the hardest working parts of the aircraft. The size and shape of the fragments will vary.

All fragments have sharp edges, so please use extreme caution when handling and never allow children to handle the specimens unattended.

The specimen comes affixed to a 4x3" display card which contains photos and information about the plane. The Mini Museum Seal of Authenticity is also included.
