I emailed our air and space curator and he is interested in getting one donated for display if that is still possible.

I sent him (the curator) the link and emailed Robert.

Thank you everyone!

A-12 was the forerunner to the SR-71, used for training. Note the double canopy. They are very similar.

I see a starship regularly flying over Ft. Lauderdale. You can tell by the sound of the engines its something different. It has made me look up several times. Pretty cool looking plane.

No idea, it was in an old Hotel envelope in my Grandfathers pix. With him, he may have written it and used it as a joke.
