Dedication ceremony at CIA
19 September 2007
CIA Headquarters, McLean, VA.
A-12 ARTICLE #128 (Serial #60-06931)
It was with great honor that members of Roadrunners Internationale were included in the dedication ceremony during the 60th anniversary of the Central Intelligence Agency
December 7, 2007 Installation at CIA Headquarters
Installation Team: World Wide Aircraft Recovery Team, Roadrunner Torrey Larsen, and Toni Hiley, Director CIA Museum
CIA Article #128 (Serial #60-06931) never achieved the
operational experiences of the rest of the A-12 Articles. It was the first
operationally outfitted A-12 (as opposed to one of the test aircraft) to reach
Mach 3, but it did not participate in BLACK SHIELD. It apparently was deployed
as a back-up for the NICE GIRL flyoff against the SR-71 in October-November 1968
but was not used in the competition. There are no known photos of this plane
taken while in service.
