For the sake of completeness, the museum doesn't have an SR-71. What it has is a CIA A-12 that was modified to carry the D-21 drone. After the accident the program was cancelled. You can find pics of the D21 under the wings of B-52s during the Viet Nam war. They boosted them to supersonic speeds to start the ramjet using a solid rocket motor.
