I got to sit in the SR71 a few ago. Great experience.

Define "look-in".... is is "look in" or "sit in"?

I only quoted what was on the web site.
You should contact the NMUSAF directly to get a definition of "look-in".

Considering NMUSAF policy in recent years, I'm assuming it's a "look but don't touch" situation. I've heard that they stopped the old "crawl through and sit in" open cockpit events after some damage and theft.
