Precursor to the SR-71 Blackbird, the A-12 was developed for the CIA. First flown in April, 1962, the type was retired by 1968, being replaced by the Blackbird. This is the very first A-12 (60-6924), on display at Blackbird Park in Palmdale, California.

Lockheed Martin’s sixth Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF-6) protected communications satellite is encapsulated in its protective fairings ahead of its expected March 26 launch on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket. AEHF-6 is part of the AEHF system -- a resilient satellite constellation with global coverage and a sophisticated ground control system -- that provides global, survivable, protected communications capabilities for national leaders and tactical warfighters operating across ground, sea and air platforms. The anti-jam system also serves international allies to include Canada, the Netherlands, United Kingdom and Australia.

Have Lion, Will Travel
This photo of the most famous (or maybe just “only”) flying lion ever—Gilmore, the Gilmore Oil Company mascot—with famed racing pilot and bon vivant Roscoe Turner and two of Turner’s aircraft, a Lockheed Model 3 Air Express (background) and his Wedell-Williams Model 44 racer. Turner flew with Gilmore as a cub—and, who, after the Humane Society complained, got his own custom parachute. Gilmore flew with Turner for nine months, mostly in the Air Express, until December 1930, before growing too big. He logged more than 25,000 miles in the air before his retirement. Gilmore briefly lived in a cage at the Burbank Airport and was eventually retired to a wildlife preserve. He died in 1950 and is currently in cold storage—along with the Apollo moon suits—at the National Air and Space Museum. Seven Air Express—with its unique parasol wing—were built. lockheedmartin.com/codeone
International Talk Like A Pirate Day, held every year on September 19, is a made-up “holiday” created in 1995. While we doubt this National Airlines stewardess (that’s what they were called eight decades ago) actually talked like a pirate as she checked the passenger manifest for this flight, you never know. By the end of the 1930s, the National Airlines network spanned from New Orleans to Miami and the Caribbean on what it called the Buccaneer Route. National received three Lockheed Model 18 Lodestar airliners direct from the factory and flew them through the 1940s. Normally equipped with 15 passenger seats, one National Airlines Lodestar was equipped with bench seats for 26 passengers on Miami-to-Puerto Rico flights. More than half of the 625 Lodestars built were either commercial aircraft impressed by the U.S. military for service in World War II or were purpose-built C-60A military transports. lockheedmartin.com/codeonemagazine

In complete secrecy, a team headed by Clarence L. "Kelly" Johnson at Lockheed's "Skunk Works" in Burbank, Calif., designed and built the U-2 to fly surveillance missions. With sailplane-like wings suited for the thin atmosphere above 55,000 feet (over 70,000 feet for later models), this single-engine aircraft made its first flight in August 1955. Entering operational service in 1956, its use remained secret until May 1, 1960, when a surface-to-air missile shot down a civilian-piloted U-2 on a reconnaissance flight over Soviet territory.
One of the most important U-2 missions took place on Oct. 14, 1962, when a U-2 piloted by Maj. Richard S. Heyser obtained the first photographs of Soviet offensive missile sites in Cuba. Eight days later, Maj. Rudolf Anderson Jr. was killed on a similar mission when his U-2 was shot down by a surface-to-air missile. U-2s have also been used for programs as diverse as mapping studies, atmospheric sampling and collecting crop and land management photographic data for the Department of Energy.

The above image is a scan from an original Kodachrome™ slide. The default size is 2000 x 1250 pixels, so clicking on the photo will enlarge it for better viewing.
The original image comes from my slide collection, amassed over the past 40+ years. They are a combination of my own photographs and ones acquired through trades or purchases.
I created this Photostream in 2017 for the purpose of holding my slide collection as an archive, as otherwise they would just remain in binders and boxes, not being enjoyed by anyone, myself included.
Comments are welcome.

The Lockheed Super Constellation, or "Connie" was one of the last great propeller driven commercial Airlines of the "Golden Age of Flight." Designed in the late 1930's the Connie was ordered by TWA and it's eccentric stockholder Howard Hughes. During WW2 the Connie was labelled the C-69 and used in a military transport role. After the war the Connie became the overseas and continental workhorse of some of the most iconic airlines of the era, such as TWA, Pan Am, and Lufthansa, as well as many others. The Connie remained in service with Eastern until 1968, when jetliners became the primary aircraft in the skies.
This Connie, dubbed "The Star of the Atlantic" is an intercontinental version of the L-1049. Designed to reach places such as Rome, Cologne, and London, this connie is designed for comfort during a trip which took many more hours than it does today. It includes bunks for passengers, and a large galley, prepared to serve full meals. The rear of the plane has two bathrooms.
This moc represents probably the end of my LEGO career for at least a year. Starting August 25th, I'll be doing a gap year in Deutschland. I plan on remaining active online, but obviously I will not be bringing my LEGO along nor building.

Aircraft 65-0236. This aircraft is painted in the C141A "White Top" scheme it carried until it's 1980 "B" conversion. This aircraft supported global airlift, airdrop, and aeromedical missions from 1966 until 1993. One mission of particular note occurred on February 12th, 1973. This aircraft flew to Gia Lam Airport, near Hanoi, North Vietnam on one of the first missions of "Operation Homecoming", the repatriation of American Prisoners of War. Today, this display honors all those who flew and supported the C141 Starlifter, the workhorse of Air Mobility for over 40 years.
This aircraft is on loan from the National Museum of the United States Air Force.
(per the display marker)
The Lockheed C-141 Starlifter was a military strategic airlifter in service with the Air Mobility Command (AMC) of the United States Air Force (USAF). The aircraft also served with AMC-gained airlift wings and air mobility wings of the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) and the Air National Guard (ANG) and, in later years, one air mobility wing of the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) dedicated to C-141, C-5, C-17 and KC-135 training.
Introduced to replace slower piston-engined cargo planes such as the C-124 Globemaster II, the C-141 was designed to requirements set in 1960 and first flew in 1963. Production deliveries of an eventual 285 planes began in 1965: 284 for the Air Force, and one for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for use as an airborne observatory. The aircraft remained in service for over 40 years until the USAF withdrew the last C-141s from service in 2006, after replacing the airlifter with the C-17 Globemaster III.
