    No - the A-12 was in service from 1963-1968 and led to the development of the SR-71.

    It was original shot on film. We have been digitizing some historic flights recently in order to preserve and share them.

    So amazing seeing the first blackbird to fly. Wish there was sound to go with this video. Wonderful seeing this old footage. Keep it coming!

    Nice to see the Lockheed birds flying... the Starfighter as a chase was nice.

    I thought that photography was heavily restricted at Groom.
