Look at the ladder on the left in the photo and try to make sense of its construction, then look at the people near the front of the aircraft and consider their size in relation to it. (Apparently they are nephilim, judging by how large they are.)

The SR-71 is over 107 feet in length, more than 18 feet in total height, and has a wingspan of a bit more than 55.5'.

That is a CGI/AI rendering, not an actual photo.

I think he was referring to the third engine mounted on the vertical stabilizer/rudder. Take a good, hard look at every detail of that photo. It's either AI generated or it's a terrible Photoshop job.

The Lockheed D-21 is an American supersonic reconnaissance drone. The D-21 was initially designed to be launched from the back of an M-21 carrier aircraft, a variant of the Lockheed A-12 aircraft. The drone had maximum speed in excess of Mach 3.3 (2,200 miles per hour; 3,600 kilometers per hour) at an operational altitude of 90,000 feet (27,000 meters). Development began in October 1962. Originally known by the Lockheed designation Q-12, the drone was intended for reconnaissance deep into enemy airspace.




The A-12 is basically the same as the SR-71

You are absolutely correct. I believe the A-12 was supposed to be a fighter version of the SR-71, but it just wasn't feasible when everything was considered. It sure was a bad-arse aircraft though!

Just checked it out. I have no idea how I missed that earlier.

I absolutely love this play in words:

Those young fellows in the photo didn't know it, but they were about to get sent to war.
