Lockheed A-12 Oxcart (Cygnus)

Have been working on this for two years now part time, but gradually I'm getting closer to being ready to release her into the wild.

The little known Lockheed A-12 was the faster, higher flying forerunner to the SR-71 Blackbird and was operated by the CIA from Area 51, and operationally over North Korea, helping find USS Paeblo and providing total photographic coverage of North Korea within a single mission!

I am so stoked to see this. Do you have a developers blog or any kind of site you'll be making this available? Is it based on any existing add on model such as glowingheat?

I also didn't realize I was able to take the glowing heat out for a flight in Prepar3d as well. I guess that'll do for now. But wow I really want to try that A-12. From what I've read, it was a superior airplane to the SR-71 because of the lighter weight and bigger camera. limited in purpose however. Since I'm not playing flight sims to spy, I'd prefer this aircraft over the SR-71 to fly at 90k feet at Mach 3.5 to my heart's content.
