The a-12 Was a Spy Plane

The A-12 was a spy plane built by the CIA in order to spy on the Soviet Union and Cuba. He'd photographed military installations in communist countries with less sophisticated air defenses than the USSR like North Vietnam, North Korea, and of course Cuba. So the A-12 I guess was the precursor to the SR-17. It's real crazy to be like great in battle, but non-violent. We actually... I'm not a big plane guy as well-documented on this show.
