The photos above show the damage to CIA A-12 Article #132 when the hangar was destroyed by hurricane Katrina as it passed through Mobile, Alabama. At the time NASA and various members of Roadrunners Internationale circled the wagons to provide whatever assistance they could towards repairing this historic spyplane. The photos below depict how everything is shipshape again.
