Did the YF-12 have a "nickname"?

The A-12 was called Oxcart. The SR-71 was Blackbird. Did people call the YF-12 one of those names, no name at all, or did they give the YF-12 a third name among these related aircraft? 2601:644:8500:2823:6865:9CDD:37EC:A865 (talk) 21:31, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No name was applied to the YF-12. These were pre-production aircraft and only 3 were built plus 1 conversion (YF-12C) from a SR-71. They were only used for testing. -Fnlayson (talk) 21:50, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tu 28?

The Tu 28 is relatively similar to the YF-12, so should it be included in the "See Also" part? Cheers! <3 Taffy boeing b 17 (talk) 21:09, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-:The Lockheed YF-12 was a prototype interceptor aircraft that formed the basis for the SR-71 Blackbird.
+The A-12 was called Oxcart. The SR-71 was Blackbird. Did people call the YF-12 one of those names, no name at all, or did they give the YF-12 a third name among these related aircraft? [[Special:Contributions/2601:644:8500:2823:6865:9CDD:37EC:A865|2601:644:8500:2823:6865:9CDD:37EC:A865]] ([[User talk:2601:644:8500:2823:6865:9CDD:37EC:A865|talk]]) 21:31, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
-The first statement of this article is false.  The A-12 was the basis of both the YF-12 and the SR-71.  The YF-12 was done after A-12 and SR-71.  [[User:Kowloonese|Kowloonese]] 23:01, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
+: No name was applied to the YF-12. These were pre-production aircraft and only 3 were built plus 1 conversion (YF-12C) from a SR-71. They were only used for testing. [[User:Fnlayson|&#45;Fnlayson]] ([[User talk:Fnlayson|talk]]) 21:50, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
-:Not quite. The A-12, a CIA spy plane, first flew out of Groom Lake in April 1962 and remained secret until 1982. The YF-12 interceptor first flew at Groom Lake in August 1963. President Johnson announced the existence of the YF-12 in February 1964 (mistakingly calling it the A-11), and from this point on the YF-12 was the "cover" airplane for the A-12. The SR-71 first flew in December 1964 (and was already known to the public) and was also used to cover up for the A-12. When A-12s were seen or crashed, the Air Force would simply say to the public that it was actually a YF-12 or an experimental SR-71.
-:I would agree that the A-12 was the basis for both planes, and I'd also agree that the A-12, as a substantially different plane with a substantially different mission, should have its own article. --[[User:68.43.122.246|68.43.122.246]] 20:24, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)

-==Suddenly desclassified?==
-As of May 7th, 2006 exact specifications regarding the performance capabilities of all Blackbird variants still remains classified.  It should be noted that the capabilities presented regarding this aircraft is not accurate and are only speculation.
-On March 6th, 1990, traveling from Los Angeles to Washington, DC in 1 hour, 4 minutes and 20 seconds, a Blackbird once again established a new world speed record for turbine-engine powered aircraft.  That is estimated to be in excess of Mach 3.0 without afterburners.
