'Great story, wish I could have been in that area to see the move, would have been a sight to see in 1962. Enjoy the the story & pictures. This is a 'two cups of coffee' review. What a task -- moving the SR-71 from Burbank to Area 51 without anyone knowing about it. Great article, even better photos. No small task! It gives you a small clue to how expensive just one phase of the program was and the measures taken to maintain its secrecy. The secret convey that moved the A-12 (Pre SR71 Blackbird) from Burbank, CA to Area 51 for flight testing.

Sorry, copy and paste got the best of me. [/QUOTE]
