I guess it made financial sense somehow to cancel this plane. But I couldn't have done it. I blame the Clintons .. maybe
Of course I always read the articles in Pop. Mech. and other magazines about how great the next planes were always going to be. But they never ended up building any of those.
+Joseph French the YF-12 was the Fighter /Interceptor version of the A-12. 3 were made as prototypes before that program was canceled. The RS-71 was the military controlled version of the A-12.
That's one very sexy plane!
I remember in late 1967 it (YF-12) drop-in (Tyndell AFB, Fl) sound like a small earthquake…Later named SR-71
Black bird

The 71 still stands as the pinnacle of aviation.
