>The only 'A-12's' or YF-12A's were 60-6934,60-6935 & 60-6936.
The terms "A-12" and "YF-12A" are not interchangeable. They are different
airplanes. I will not get into details, but one of the obvious differences
is that the A-12 was a single seat aircraft (except for the one trainer -
60-6927, which had a second elevated cockpit) and the YF-12A was a two seat
aircraft.
And in order to avoid real confusion, I will we omit the "new A-12" being
built by the Navy. This is a different aircraft from the previous A-12.
