Update - the park was heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005. The park was closed for 4-1/2 months after the hurricane, leaving the organization heavily in debt. The aircraft hangar was demolished by the storm surge, causing extensive damage to the aircraft. Aviation historian Pat Carry states that the Blackbird suffered heavy damage. The aircraft might have to be given up to another museum that has the ability to repair this historic airplane.
