A-12 Blackbird
Intrepid Air & Space Museum
New York City, NY
This A-12 is displayed on an aircraft carrier in the Hudson river
in New York City. This aircraft is reportedly in poor condition,
and rapidly deteriorating. The titanium airframe is not reacting
well in the salt water and wind environment of the lower Hudson
River basin where the Intrepid is located. Sadly, neither the
Intrepid Museum or the USAF Museum (who actually owns this Blackbird)
seem concerned enough about this historic bird to do anything to
prevent any further deterioration of 925.
