One should be sent to UK from which they operated, one to Russia over which it flew and one to Sweden since the SAAB JA 37 Viggen managed to get a radar lock on one of them while flying its route through the Baltic Sea...

You just ship them over the pond! :D

I wish they would've taken the A-12 off of the deck of the Intrepid and put the A-3 Skywarrior back. :evil: :roll:

I know the Minnesota ANG has a long history flying the Blackbird...(where's the sarcasm emoticon?)


Of course, the ANG has no direct connection to the A-12 since it was the CIA that operated them. The MN ANG Museum, however has a very important connection to this plane, they went to the trouble to acquire a nearly forgotten piece of history and turn it into a world class restoration at a time when no one cared about the aircraft.
