The A-12 was the product of Project Oxcart, a secret military program to develop a high-speed, high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. First flown in 1962, the A-12 was built by Lockheed’s Advanced Development Projects office, now known as Skunk Works. The A-12 was capable of performing sensitive intelligence-gathering missions while flying at speeds over Mach 3, or three times the speed of sound. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) used A-12s for surveillance missions until 1968. Later versions, known as the SR-71 Blackbird, served in reconnaissance and test missions for the U.S. Air Force and NASA through the 1990s

One of two 'Advanced' build planes in my upcoming book 'How to Build Brick Airplanes' - the Lockheed P-38 Lightning is a (very) big model.
How big? - Part count is just shy of 2,200 parts. But the model is not full of little parts.
Measuring 752mm (30 in) across the wings, the P-38 is is nearly as big as the official LEGO(R) Millennium Falcon.
So its big - what else?
Glad you asked. The scale is Miniland - the same as most of the car models I create. At this scale it affords the opportunity to fit functioning Lego Technic engines. The P-38 is a twin engined plane (Allison V1710 V12s), and these are modelled as Lego V6s. The engines are gear driven to the twin propellers.
The big party trick though, is the landing gear. The P-38 had three landing gear wheels, one at the nose, and one behind each engine.
In the model, the activation of the landing gear is pretty cool (at least I think so). The round 4x4x2 cone can be rotated to lower the front wheel, while the 2x2x2 cone behind the cabin (on the centreline) rotates to lower each of the engine-pod wheels, via driveshafts in the inner wing section.
If you want to see for yourself, the book "How to Build Brick Airplanes' is officially released in a week's time (19th October).

This was a model of the Lockheed Model 10 Electra, the one that was flown by Amelia Earheart when she disappeared in 1937 when attemption to fly around the world.
Amelia Earheart was an aviation pioneer.
This model was flown by Sandra Schoonhoven(in second life) She did her own kind of pioneering.(See picture 3 too :P)

The Lockheed Model 12 Electra Junior, more commonly known as the Lockheed 12 or L-12, is an eight-seat, six-passenger all-metal twin-engine transport aircraft of the late 1930s designed for use by small airlines, companies, and wealthy private individuals.
Lockheed built a total of 130 Lockheed 12s, ending production in 1941.
A number of Lockheed 12s have survived to the present day,
mostly in private hands. Several of these are still flyin.

The Lockheed TriStar is an air-to-air tanker and transport aircraft in service with the Royal Air Force (RAF). All were converted civilian Lockheed L-1011-500 TriStar airliners previously operated by British Airways and Pan American World Airways—and entered service with the RAF in 1984.
The converted aircraft were purchased following the Falklands War, after a requirement for additional air-to-air refuelling operations had been identified. Of the nine in service, two were tankers (K1) with passenger space and also limited space for cargo loaded aft of the main deck; three were solely transport aircraft (C2); and the remaining four (KC1) could be used for either of the two roles. The TriStars formed the air-to-air refuelling fleet of the RAF until replaced by the Airbus A330 MRTT under the Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft (FSTA) programme.
The TriStar fleet was operated by No. 216 Squadron of RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire. 216 Squadron was officially disbanded on 20 March 2014 and flew its last sorties with the TriStar on 24 March 2014.
