If that's tail #06924 it's actually an A-12 built for the CIA - even cooler.

Widening the track set by much narrower tracked vehicles, in my behemoth "Polar Beast". Would have been nice to have a front locker then, but the Toyo MTs cleared out really well and never got hung up anywhere.

ahhh very cool,, here is another view of it,
They have 2 SR71s and U2
I thought all SR71s were made for CIA ?

I never knew there was something so similar but it is a bit different in size etc. 1 pilot v 2, etc.

SR-71 Online - A-12 Blackbird

A-12 was the predecessor. There’s also one on the flight deck of the US Intrepid in NYC.

Sir you are absolutely correct, that’ is A12 with correct tail number and the one next to it is SR71.
I went back to ask them.
I didn’t know there was A12 and SR71, I appreciate your knowledge.

Awesome, you got it right from the best source! Thanks for confirming.

The A-12 was built for the CIA which eventually led to nearly identical SR-71s being built for the Air Force. The only reason I know a little bit about each platform is because while working on my MS in Aeronautics I became especially interested in the D-21 drone that was launched off yet another variant of the A-12/SR-71 platform, the M-21. I was working at NASA LaRC in the Hypersonic Research Laboratory at the time so launching a supersonic (or possibly hypersonic ) drone off the back of a supersonic vehicle which operated at the edge or space was very interesting to me.

Thanks for the kind words, hopefully it'll be even nicer in the coming weeks.
