Well, the USAF symbols on the planes are 'subdued,' so I'm guessing they attempted to duplicate that look as well on the car.

I love the SR71!! As far as ....the shuttle? I've stood on the crawler with it... but they wouldn't let me take a pic, then again I didn't have a camera. I use to have a pic of the shuttle being moved to the pad site. 9 million pounds of steeel !!!! fuel in those tanks? 450 degrees below zero!! Fuel tubes actually circle the walls of the thrusters, and actually is used to cool the thrusters. Thrusters heat enough to turn you to dirt within 50 yards..(best I recall) course the fuel cold enough to freeze your arm right off if you touched it....well that is if you lived from the shock.
