According to Jim Goodall, the Minnesota Air Guard Museum will probably lose its A-12 Blackbird. Article 128 the only complete A-12 of the nine currently on display and has apparently been chosen by the CIA to be the new gate guard at their Langley, Virginia, Headquarters.

Goodall says they should have chosen one of the three A-12s in Alabama. The two survivors of Operation Black Shield are located in Huntsville and Birmingham, both outside and both in worse shape than Article 128. The third A-12 in Alabama, located in Mobile, was all but wiped by last year's two hurricanes.
