This SR-71A came off the production line in standard configuration in August 1965. However it was chosen as the platform for a new set of sensor equipment to be carried in a nine-foot extension from the rear of the aircraft, the "Big Tail" as it was known flying for the first time in December 1975. It was the only aircraft so modified but the new sensors proved of little advantage. The program was dropped and the aircraft was last flown in October 1976

For most people, the lower sign is probably redundant. The one above it mentions some feats accomplished by this Sled, like flying the first three of nine sorties from the eastern US seaboard to the Middle East - and back - during the Yom Kippur War. These missions were flown out of Griffiss AFB, NY, and involved close to 11.5 hours of Blackbird air time, including over five hours above Mach 3.0.

NASA operated two YF-12As, 60-6935 and 60-6936. 06936 crashed on 24 June 1971 and was then replaced by an SR-71, 61-7951. Because NASA was not allowed to operate the SR-71, it was given the fake designation YF-12C and spurious tail number 06937. The real 60-6937 was an A-12 (c/n 131) of the CIA that was no longer active. 61-7951 remained with NASA until 1978. The second aircraft on the photo is obviously 60-6935. It carries a cooled cylinder which was being exposed to the friction and heat of Mach 3 flight. Photo from: NASA Ames
