They have one at the Air Force museum in Dayton.

I highly recommend visiting it for anyone interested in this stuff. It's an amazing museum, and it's totally free!

They don't have "one". They have the only one. The other one built crashed in 1966. The one in Dayton is all there is.

That's a YF-12, not SR-71 but indeed very similar

https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Visit/Museum-Exhibits/Fact... I'm not really into this kind of thing but this museum is truly fascinating; I second the recommendation wholeheartedly

Not only is the museum itself awesome (and free), they are also responsible for almost every US warplane on display around the world. You can download a spreadsheet from their website showing where planes are on "loan".
