Men in black suits should be paying this guy a visit!
The Boeing SR-71 reference is a bit confusing in the listing (I was at first). I think the poster was trying to compare the importance/prestige that McDonnell Douglas(Boeing) placed on the A-12 program as Lockheed placed on the the SR-71. Easy to confuse this A-12 to the A-12 spy plane delivered to the CIA. Two different planes.Quote:
