Secret A-12 Avenger II Stealth Aircraft Canopy Appears on eBay

Quote:
But the latest twist in this still-shadowy tale comes in the form of an A-12 canopy appearing on eBay – and it looks like the real thing.............

Seth Kettleman, who owns the canopy, purchased it through GovDeals.com for $2,300. GovDeals told The DEW Line that the part had been listed by the aviation department of Purdue University in Indiana, where it had reportedly been stored for more than 15 years. Interestingly, no-one seems to know exactly how it got there.....................

Several A-12s were reportedly on the production line when the programme was cancelled, but their fate has remained a mystery. The eBay canopy is a tantalising clue that their parts may still exist, and shows that at least one component of the still classified A-12 is in private hands.
