This particular aircraft is an A-12 and is the only A-12 trainer model (twin cockpits) ever made. Nicknamed The Titanium Goose, this aircraft flew for the CIA as opposed to the similar YF-12 and SR-71 which were Air Force and later NASA birds. There is a very nice Wikipedia entry that details the A-12 and this bird specifically. -- Oly
