The SR-71 Simulator is a full-motion simulator at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, CA. It is the only SR-71 simulator and was updated in 1990 at a cost of over 22 million dollars. The last I checked, the simulator was still at NASA. However, with the termination of the SR-71 program, it might be moved to the Barstow storage facility, where many other relics from the NASA SR-71 days are currently housed. These photos were taken on 14 July 2000.
