The discussion on the current disposition of the SR-71 Blackbirds got me to
wondering: what happened to the A-12 single-seat spyplanes that preceded
the SR-71?  I think that there were 21 of them built.  I don't think that any
A-12s were ever shown in public, nor were any ever given to museums so far as
I am aware.  Did they all get written off in crashes?  Did the survivors get
put in storage?  Or can we conclude that some are indeed still flying?
