Summary

Description
English: Lockheed YF-12A 60-6934 in Air Defense Command markings 1963. The only YF-12A in ADC markings, its first test flight occurred on 7 August 1963 at Groom Lake, Nevada. It was extensively tested at Edwards Air Force base. The cost of the Vietnam War, and the perceived lessened need for a Mach-3 interceptor led to the F-12 program being canceled by the end of 1967. This aircraft damaged beyond repair by fire at Edwards during a landing mishap on 14 August 1966; its rear half was salvaged and combined with the front half of a Lockheed static test airframe to create the one and only SR-71C 64-17981.
