What they were doing there, I have no idea. IIRC there were what a half dozen or so A-12 built in the early 60's ? Funny that you could see them in the 1970's when they had been retired and placed in storage in 1968. The "storage" was the ramp at AF Plant 42. They were pretty easy to see, at least in later years, sprayed with some sort of white stuff. I've saw the A-12s regularly. You could even snap photos while flying near, but not over, Plant 42. However, I have nothing to add regarding the rest of this except agreement with Tank Fixer. Mary -- Mary Shafer Retired aerospace research engineer
