They have one at Hill AFB, I love looking at it
My BIL was doing a Scout camp-out in Colorado, and had to wake up in the middle of the night to go pee. He was enjoying the star filled sky, away from all citiy lights and saw something. Meteor? Satellite? Nope, it was red and green... nav lights?

Well as soon as he saw it, it zoomed across the night sky and was gone past the horizon behind him. My BIL never told anyone, becasue either nobody would belive him or it wasn't something he should be talking about (He's also in the Air Force too).

Years later, he's at a base and sees a SR71 picture with a signature. It's dated, same date as his fateful midnight relieving. He asked about it and sure enough, they were doing speed tests. I'm pretty jealous he got to see one, not just in the air but in action!
