Easytiger, I wasn't jumping on you, (Remember it's New York, Pally) but remembering that is IS NYC I thought they probably had it mislabeled. Every Dumb-dumb knows the SR-71. Who's ever heard of a YF-12? But being a YF-12 that is probably one of the oldest of that basic airframe still staying away from the scrap heap! Most were converted to '71 specs. The airplane was really too much for a single pilot with the electronics we had then, and some other things I haven't read about in the press, so we'll leave it at that. Suffice it to say that the "Other" things were why I transferred to TacAir when we got the '12s. Unbelievable ride, but what we had to go through to get inside! (3500mph, 100,000', a BIG WOW!) You say "Never No Way?" Check the world speed/distance record. France to the Left coast, average speed was over 2000 mph, and they slowed down TWICE to refuel!.

You have two? Go on through!!
