And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I thought so too, at first, me above @556. But, now I'm seeing the taper of the fuselage back toward the wings. I think the rear seat hasn't been installed. SR-71
Looks suspiciously AI. Three guys standing on the titanium skin, two are outside the safe walkway lines. The steps up the yellow stands look like they go nowhere (no entry point to the top of the stand) and are a little far into the leading edge area between the engine and the fuselage. There's an extra "step" between the engine cone and the nacelle. Not sure if the intake by-pass ducts around the engine nacelles are correct either, thought they were longer rectangles, not squares.
There ... is ... no ... substitute or match for the shear speed of this bird.

Pointing at a B52, Dad said, 'the Ruskies are so far behind us, their's still have propellers!'
ReplyDeleteNice to see the A-12 getting some love.
ReplyDeleteLikely an A12 since it appears to be a single seater.

ReplyDeleteI could also be wrong and just need coffee.
Such a thing of beauty.
