I thought there were only 2 Blackbirds
I watched a Documentry on them and they said the US only had 2

NICE

How could you guys miss this one?

Problem is that It's covered, but there's a blackbird under that structure, along with a drone. That is the Pima Air and Space museum in TUcson, AZ. Been there more than ten times, and it never gets boring!!!

Here's a picture of the only 2-seat A-12 trainer being installed outside of the California Science Center in Los Angeles.
Update: The latest imagery finally shows it in place.


More pictures

Here is a list of the locations of all remaining Blackbirds of all types.

Just a note to you guys, theres one at Barksdale AFB now on display, but the image isnt up to date so you cant see it right now.

Not true... I think there were somewhere around 20 of them. There may be only 2 in use today, though. After the project was scrapped, I heard that they pulled a couple out of retirement for some special mission or something.

Can anyone positively identify the serial number of Criper2000's 13th Blackbird?

16 Blackbirds [Re: Hill]
      #56428 - 07/30/05 05:34 AM

Thanks Hill, I have added that one along with two others to total 16 Blackbirds on the ground (visible or soon to be)

As it is a collection of placemarks, I have just been editing the kmz file etc in my first post, so I hope that is an ok practice.

Here is another one, underneath this Shelter:

32° 8'21.41"N
110°51'56.33"W

EDIT:

OK I just saw post above. This is the one at PIMA. And I will start using KMZ files instead of L&L.
