woops ... must try and engage memory properly before posting ... I meant
A-12, not Y-12, and clicking on the image confirms that it's a tri-service
A-12. The BuNo is 60-06925, the ConNo is 122, which makes it the first
production A-12, and owned fully by the USAF.
However ... "tri-service" ... not so out of place perhaps ... :)
