Ever wonder how they service the engines on an Sr-71?  The wing basically lifts up and the engine drops out.  Pretty cool to see an actual SR-71 engine - many of those on display in museums have empty housings.
SR-71 "Blackbird" spy plane.  Even though it was designed back in the early 1960s, it still looks futuristic 50 years later!  

You can read more about it on wikipedia, but the cool thing about the Evergreen display is the number of internal components on display.

For example, did you know it used stars (both day and night) to navigate?!?  That second copier-sized white box under the plane is an astro-inertial guidance system that tracked the plane's position at speeds surpassing Mach 3.
A look into the rear cargo hold of the Spruce Goose.  The beach balls you see here are original from the 1940s - they filled the back of the hull and the wing floats and served as an insurance policy against a crash landing.  Remember - this "flying boat" was the largest plane ever built and Howard Hughes was a bit paranoid about it's ability to float.
