A-12 #06927, nicknamed "Titanium Goose," is sometimes referred to as the "A-12B" because of its SR-71B-like rear seat. The only A-12 trainer ever built, it is displayed on a pedestal near the parking facility at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, CA. This A-12 sat at Lockheed's location at AF Plant #42 in Palmdale, CA for a number of years before finally being moved here in August 2003, and is the last A-12 to be put on permanent display. Like M-21 #60-6940, it is one of only two Blackbirds still sporting a mostly bare-metal motif. This A-12 logged more than twice as much flight time as any other A-12, 1076.4 hours.
