Get yourself to Duxford, they have one parked there although I believe the American Hanger Maybe being refurbed now, or very soon.

I am a fan of F16.
Year ago I also fell for the low flying Stealth bombers at the Fairford Air Tattoo show, but they didn't bother stopping for me.
And yes, SR-71 is just awesome!

blackbird is awsome. one of my fav planes. mig 29 and sukhoi su 27 and the mig 25 foxbat are also nice planes. saw the globemaster at leuchars air show and was an awsome big beast of a plane! moved so slow past the runway its amazing it stayed in the air! also like the saab gripen and the mirage and you still cant beat the crackle and noise of a tornado gr4 on full afterburner doing a high speed pass.

I'll never forget seeing the SR-71 at Farnborough 40 years ago, best take off ever, loved that plane ever since.
Obviously Concorde as the most beautiful plane ever made plus my dad was on the developement team for the Olympus engines so it has a special place in my heart.
Vulcan, F14 Tomcat, B1 Lancer, TSR-2 and the B777-300er are worthy of a mention as my favourite planes.
