Looks like one of the trainers.

There where originally two trainers, #61-7957, crashed on approach to Beale Air Force Bace on January 11 1968, the other #61-7956/NASA 831 is on display at the Kalamazoo Aviation History Museum in Kalamazoo, MI.
The trainers had a raised rear canopy.

the one pictured under the Spruce Goose, #61-7971 is one clean as ride seeing as it had 3512.5 hours on it.
I love these birds, though I have never seen one in person, it is on my bucket list.
here is a bad ass sight all about them..

also I recommend (if you are a nerd like me) reading " Flying the SR71 Blackbird"

it's a bad ass read.

For shits and grins, here's a pic of the one I'm building.

Pretty easy wish to fulfill – there’s one in Shreveport at the 8th Air Force Museum.

I know the rear canopy was raised, but from the angle I wasn't sure if it was or wasn't. I've actually read that book, it's awesome. "Push the throttle to classified and leave the continent."

I've seen a few of them when they were still in service. Grew up on Air Force bases...
They are cool as shit and one of my all time favorite aircraft!

Same here, we even had field trips in school and went through the hangar and on a walkway over the cockpit. Even though it was a group of little kids, they still covered all of the instrumentation to stop any pics from being taken.
