The newsletter says the SR-71 was formerly known as the A-12, will someone please tell them otherwise. I live in Huntsville, Alabama and our museum The U.S. Space and Rocket Center has an actual A-12, but has a sign next to it that says its a SR-71 and has it painted as one. Drives me nuts.

How many D.21s are still in existence. I think there is one at the Museum of Flight in Seattle and there at least used to be one at Pima Air and Space Museum. Others?
