The HAVE BLUE airframes are not in the Boneyard. They were buried. One of the Lockheed guys says he thinks it is now under a road. They were trying to find the burial site so they could dig them up and restore Article 1001 for display.

He thought it might be buried under a road that was paved (or repaved) near the Southend, not far from the hangars. The problem was that nobody could remember exactly where they had buried it. They tried digging in a number of places and found SENIOR PROM tail fins and other stuff they weren't supposed to dig up, but no HAVE BLUE.
He said they planned to restore HB1001 (the first article) and put it on a pole in front of base HQ or OPS. I would rather see it in the Air Force Museum.

The true successor to the U-2, the mach 3 SR-71 flies at 90,000 feet, uses 8,000 gallons of fuel per hour and has outrun countless SAMs.
