YF-12C mid-air refueling

[greasemo12]

nice, YF, hey Tom, "I'm gonna make up some bullshit name for a plane I don't understand and see how many ppl hit it on youtube", duh, lol I'll be so cool then.

[SpadesNeil]

As long as you people aren't being retards from playing too much HAWX (terrible game) then I'll carry on and not complain about how the YF-12 doesn't exist.

The aircraft does in fact exist--but it was never used or even fitted for combat.

[MrHyper728]

@SpadesNeil yer and there is a yf 12 at the National Museum of the USAF, Dayton, OH. of the top of my head but they only made about 10 of them from sr-71's

[pipercub123456]

@MrHyper728 ..The 3 YF-12 A/C where consructed before the SR-71 , the 3 YF-12 A/C where manufactured .right beside the A-12's..THX

[BLKSHiEP2]

That was a NASA badged SR-71. NASA did fly the YF-12A. The third YF-12 crashed and was rebuilt and designated as SR-71C. I could see NASA back in the 70's calling a SR-71 a YF-12C becuase they did retire the last flyable YF-12A in 77.

In the history of aviation, this must surely be ranked as the most beautiful plane ever designed and flown...

[JoeVetteman]

The A-12 was a single-seat interceptor that was never put in service.This is not one of them...it's an SR-71.Notice the small side windows in the rear cockpit where the RSO sits......

[fwbrc51]

cool. i just saw an a-12 at the battleship park in mobile, alabama today. is the a-12 the same as the sr-71?...or was either model a product design of the other?

[drewren1231]

@fwbrc51 YF-12 was the prototype of the sr-71. This i s back when they designed it to be a fighter jet.

[stuntmanmike37]

I wish I knew the tail number of this particular tanker. It could be one of the T models I work on today. Hmm...

[LukRacer]

[channingtatums]

wow sr-71 is beautful

[CrippledPidgeon]

Now THAT is a beautiful plane.

[gamerzipo]

its called "blackbird"

[CrippledPidgeon]

Well yea.

And re: the YF-12 and YF-12C, the YF-12C was actually an SR-71 on loan to NASA, but renamed to hide this fact, and the plane itself was renumbered to fit the YF-12A series.

[gamerzipo]

you replyed pretty quick

[areocrazy]

its mating season

[mexchico17]

it's the x-men's black bird!

[Tenjac]

Not exactly. The YF-12 was an experimental version designed to be an interceptor.  The idea was eventually abandoned. This, however is the one-of-a-kind YF-12C, which is infact SR-71A #417951 loaned to NASA. It is slightly different from the "true" YF-12 aircraft.

[PbfoolsPB]

Sr71 and YF-12 are the same...

[mileswilson1]

ye thats not a yf-12

[chadande]

Not a YF-12

[Alvais1985]

It is also called sr71, doesn't it?
