Join me in this detailed tour around the only Lockheed Skunkworks YF12A Blackbird that was an A-12 based Cold War Interceptor. The production F-12B was ordered but cancelled before production begun. Three were made and two were destroyed so this is the last one and on display at the National Museum of the USAF in Dayton Ohio.
