There's a Lockheed A-12 on the USS Intrepid that you can get very close to with a guided tour. One of the facts the tour guides tell you about it is the titanium for the planes, as well as that of the SR-71s, was mostly sourced from Russia via shell companies for all kinds of bullshit reasons. So, America flew spy planes over Russia that were made from materials mostly of Russian origin.
