    Never heard of a Whitebird. Is this an SR-71 or an A-12?

  2. Zac Lowing 12 Dec 2015 Reply

    Really early version, look at the nose

  3. Danny Quizon 12 Dec 2015 Reply

    +Zac Lowing But why is it white?

  4. Zac Lowing 12 Dec 2015 Reply

    It was going so fast the black fell off.

    Is that a real aircraft or was the photo altered/plane painted?? It's absolutely gorgeous. I love white aircraft.

    +Zac Lowing Seriously?! That sucks. They should have done one in white for artic patrols. My mom's house in the artic. You might have seen her in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. She has a tooth ache

    Isn't this the prototype fighter version of what we usually know as the SR-71?

  11. giantnardman 13 Dec 2015 Reply

    This is a YF-12. I assume the reason for the white paint is that this pic was taken during some kind of airframe testing and the black paint simply wasn't applied yet.
    If someone knows why, please feel free to correct me. I wamt to know.

  12. Matthew Sharp 13 Dec 2015 Reply

    +giantnardman I hope you are correct. It'll be sad if it turns to be not real

  13. Danny Quizon 13 Dec 2015 Reply

    +giantnardman I've heard of the YF-12, a prototype interceptor version of the Blackbird. Armed with air-to-air missiles to intercept Soviet Bear bombers. Never went beyond the testing phase.

    May it is U-2! The old air plane ! I'm not sure!

  15. Matthew Sharp 13 Dec 2015 Reply

    +George Xouxlias Definitely not a U-2

  16. George Xouxlias 13 Dec 2015 Reply

    Right!it is so familiar this plane to me and I forgot the name! Any way!

    Have to sleep 3 days! Tomorrow my friend! My memory will awake up!

  18. giantnardman 13 Dec 2015 Reply

    +Matthew Sharp I'm thinking the the paint was either very expensive or wasn't developed yet for the YF-12. It was a prototype after all.

  19. Matthew Sharp 13 Dec 2015 Reply

    +giantnardman So it's a YF-12?? SR-71 prototype?? It's freaking beautiful what ever it was at the time. Just think…..when that thing was a prototype….it's like a freaking space ship to people at that time. Still doesn't look outdated and old.

    Wow, one of our skunk works, white Blackbirds….when I look at these wonders of America's industry and science, I get a lump in my throat and want to shout " try to create one of these, Putin !!!".

    Sorta looks like it's sitting on green crumpled tin foil.

  23. Kurt Burgess 13 Dec 2015 Reply

    Did not know a white one existed. The point? Imagine the paint did not last long at Mach 3.

    The united state army's being there since years I mean centuries before ,I don't understand one thing how they become the law of me or the united state army turns out to be make or made by European man law,that is me European man law "first come first serve" I am not with the united state man law but that is the first George bush,same time my dispute with the George bush is their believe and personal use of the us military to the human world lime Iraq specially.(there is something wrong with people life related with the us military)(NASA is under my custody)

    Maybe that Navy Jet is some Sweet Shit! Unless it ain't.

  26. Kurt Burgess 13 Dec 2015 Reply

    The XB-70s were white. Painting an YF-12 white is not hard to fathom.

  27. Brando Phoenix 13 Dec 2015 Reply

    I was thinking the white was used to test heat resistance from the sun? Maybe helping with less radar detection? Or does that make no sense?

    +Kurt Burgess One was white longer than the other one. Ouch

  31. Matthew Sharp 13 Dec 2015 Reply

    +Brando Phoenix​ White at first because white is cheap. And it's easy to find hot spots/heat points on the aircraft during supersonic test flights

    Does anyone remember the X-15 from the 1960's

  33. Danny Quizon 13 Dec 2015 Reply

    +jack Gittins I do. 👋
    It was launched from underneath a wing of a B-52 and flew into the upper atmosphere, the edge of space.

  34. Is that a blackbird?

  35. Kevin Scruggs 13 Dec 2015 Reply

    Looks similar to a SR71 but I have never seen one shaped and painted like that. Now I'm curious

  36. Kevin Scruggs 13 Dec 2015 Reply

    That is a X15? I can barely remember the toys and paintings of those

  37. Danny Quizon 13 Dec 2015 Reply

    +Kevin Scruggs It's not an X-15. An X-15 was much smaller with short stubby wings. Check Wikipedia.

  38. Matthew Sharp 13 Dec 2015 Reply

    It probably was the prototype for what became the SR-71. Only that's visibly different is the nose. Same power plants, canted tails and air frame design. I love the white though

    Reminds me of Ace Combat 3: electrosphere's RF-12A2 Blackbird stratofighter.

    +Matthew Sharp From the little research I've done, I have found out the following….
    -Definitely a YF-12A
    -The USAF and NASA jointly tested these planes.
    -Only two were used for the joint testing
    -The white paint may have been NASA's idea. They were most likely testing the paint at high speeds and high altitudes for future use on the shuttle program.
    The last point is just a guess.

  44. Matthew Sharp 13 Dec 2015 Reply

    +giantnardman I'd go with that.

    Thought the SR71 blackbird was junked in Smithsonian…I like her in white,she's gorgeous..

    It is a YF-12A which is an (A-11) the white is a prototype paint. The black is not a paint it is the titanium in which it is made of…

  58. George Xouxlias 17 Jan 2016 Reply

    No the fxd-uafG2 is my secret plane!

  59. George Xouxlias 17 Jan 2016 Reply

    No body knows about that! Sorry can not revile my plane!
