New here, and need tech help. I found a part in the desert east of El Paso, TX. It was found very close to, but not exactly in, the crash debris area of an SR-71. The part appears to be a hydraulic piston/actuator and is marked: Bendix Products Div of Bendix Aviation Corp South Bend, Ind Made in U.S.A. I have photos available, if someone may be able to help ID what this is, and if it possibly came from the SR-71A that crashed here in 1970.
