Lockheed M-21 Blackbird and D-21 Drone


Bild von wbaiv
This is said to be the only surviving M-21 variant of the A-12, the original CIA designation for the aircraft produced by Lockheed for Project Oxcart. Where the A-12 had a single seat and one occupant, the M-21 mothership carried a second cockpit for the drone’s Launch Control Officer. The theory here was that the M-21 (already operating quite high and fast) could launch a D-21 to fly over and gather intelligence from hostile territory, where loss of a normal A-12 would endanger the pilot, the expensive airplane and potentially embarrass the USA.

Once launched and on its way, the D-21 flew autonomously, its autopilot recieving course and speed inputs from a sequencer. At the end of its flight it would put out a parachute. I believe they wanted to use the air-capture system developed for picking up reconnaissance satellite film cassettes in mid air to grab the whole drone. That would have been VERY exciting!

Besides A-12s for the CIA and the M-21, Lockheed also built at least one YF-12, a prototype interceptor armed with a very long range missile system, and the SR-71 for the Air Force. SR-71s are the most numerous and long-lived of the Blackbird family.

The USAF didn’t pursue the YF-12, but the missile evolved into the AGM-54 Phoenix that was exclusively carried the Navy’s F-14 Tomcat, for fleet defense.

Convocation


Bild von Mike Miley
I’ve decided that this is one of my favorite photos not for the shot itself, but for the emotion it reminds me of. Taken during the convocation before the dinner and program, the speaker reminded us of what we have and those we had lost. The speaker, a Viat Nam POW, reminded us of the sacrifices servicemen make for our country by referencing the displays around the room and the people gathered together.

As an outsider and non-military person, I was overwhelmed by the emotion in the room. Pride, sadness, gratitude, and much more was silently spoken. I’m thrilled I got this shot to remind me of the humans behind those words.

Thank you PA’s for including me in your gathering… you are a credit to the USAF and the USA.
