There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

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!

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.
