So many myths and legends, but the SR-71 was built and flown from Palmdale California, not Area 51. Area 51 was used as the test site for the Lockheed A-12, the SR's Mach 3 father which I have in development myself. No direct links as I don't want to tread on their thread.

I hope Milviz won't mind me saying as I'm sure your beta testers will notice, but the SR only had a 3 number serial on the nacelles.

Looking impressive! :ernaehrung004:

Also... don't forget the Lockheed "YF-12A", a high altitude, high speed interceptor. It carried 4 air to air radar guided (I believe) missiles in internal bays under the fuselage and had a highly advanced digital radar tracking system. Very similar to the SR-71 and the A-12 in shape. (Maybe the YF-12A was re-designated as A-12), I don't know a lot about the plane tho... I think the whole project was canned due to cost over-runs, delays in testing and someone finally deciding that such a wicked aircraft was really not needed. A "Tac-Pac" version with working radar for flight simulator... just say'n.

The screens of that SR-71 look amazing tho...

The YF-12A carried only 3 missiles - these missiles were further developed into the Phoenix for the F-14. A-12 came first (including M-21/D-21), followed by the YF-12 and then SR-71. YF-12 and SR were used as a cover for the still secret A-12 which saw operational service over South East Asia before early retirement in 1968.

I particularly like the fact that Milviz is modelling the often asked for RSO cockpit.
