Yep, definitely Edwards and probably Dryden. Those are the NASA Blackbirds that were only retired a couple of years ago. The center aircraft is '956', an SR-71B trainer, and the two outside aircraft are '980' and either '971' or '967'.

SR-71s were never officially deployed to or from Groom, and I highly doubt that there were ever three SR-71s there at once, ever! The A-12s were based at Groom and Kadena, and the YF-12s were based at Groom and then Edwards.
