| Robert Huff USAF Msgt Ret. , AZ | The only YF-12A's that we had at Edwards was 934,935, and 936. These were the ones flown by Air Force pilots. We had these three before we got our first SR-71. 12/23/2008 @ 20:51 [ref: 23316] |
| Dan Falls Church, VA | The photo of the YF-12A depicting the radar in the nose, sent by George Spurling, was taken in a MX hangar at Edwards. That is me in the cockpit. 02/28/2005 @ 15:47 [ref: 9559] |
| John E. Schwenkler Elmira, NY, NY | ALL of the foregoing writers misidentify the aircraft depicted. This aircraft shown is NOT a YF-12 interceptor, which, as noted, have serials 06934, 06935 & 06936. The writers are confused by the “Y” prototype designation. The aircraft shown is indeed an A-12 reconnaissance type. It is, in fact, the prototype A-12, which is suggested at by the serial it bears, #60-6924.
http://www.sr-71.org/blackbird/a-12/index.htm More pictures of 06924 are here: http://www.sr-71.org/photogallery/blackbird/06924/06924-2004-01.htm Note the absence of the interrupted chine which is the most obvious distinguishing characteristic of the FY-12 interceptor. The craft is A-12 serial # 60-6924—that is indisputable. Whether it ever officially bore the YA-12 designation or not, I cannot say, but it cannot be confused for the any of the YF-12’s, the last whole example of which is 06935, which is held in the collection of the U.S. Air Force Museum, in Fairborn, Ohio. http://www.sr-71.org/photogallery/blackbird/06935/index.htm They are decidedly different aircraft. Compare and contrast. There is no question here beyond the propriety of the “Y” prefix. --JES 02/25/2005 @ 18:24 [ref: 9535] |

Lockheed only built 3 YF-12A. 60-6935 is the only one in one piece. 60-6934 aft section was melded together with the foward half of SR-71 64-17971. 01/09/2005 @ 19:30 [ref: 9098] |

| Jaron Hach Prairie du sac, WI | I just got done writing a report on stealth technology. And I am interested in learning more about all of lockheed's stealth planes. 01/29/2002 @ 17:07 [ref: 4213] |
| T. Bernhard , OTH | I would concur with George Spurling's comments. The described aircraft is a YF-12A, not to be confused with the YF-12C which was actually an SR-71A lent to NASA before they were supposed to have SR-71s, hence the name change. The YF-12A was known initially as the A-11 (not the same A-11 that preceded the A-12 Blackbird) until President L. Johnson's announcement revealing the existence of the A-11 (to cover the existence of the A-12), whereupon it was designated AF-12 by the Air Force, then shortly thereafter YF-12, but NEVER YA-12!
Still, thanks for acknowledging it's existence as separate to the A-12 and the SR-71. 09/03/2001 @ 03:30 [ref: 3100] |
