Aerospaceweb.org Aircraft Museum - SR-71 Blackbird Originally intended as A-12 airframes but modified during construction with a second seat for an officer to operate the D-21 drone, the new designation refers to the aircraft's role as a mothership (M-21) to launch the daughter (D-21) and increase reconnaissance range; 2 built (1 lost) These single-seat aircraft were delivered to the CIA beginning in 1962, although one was modified for use as a two-seat trainer and two more gained a second seat for a launch officer to operate a D-21 unmanned drone. The A-12 aircraft were flown by the Air Force on behalf of the CIA until the more advanced SR-71, a dedicated reconnaissance model, became fully operational in 1968. www.aerospaceweb.org /aircraft/recon/sr71   (1131 words)

SENIOR BOWL D-21 / TAGBOARD The Lockheed D-21 (Project Tagboard) was an unmanned or "drone" aircraft designed to carry out high-speed, high-altitude strategic reconnaissance missions over hostile territory. It is a product of the Lockheed "Skunk Works" program that developed the A-12, YF-12, and SR-71 "Blackbird" manned aircraft in the 1960's. Originally, the D-21 was designed to be launched from the back of a modified A-12 (redesignated M-12) carrier aircraft. www.fas.org /irp/program/collect/d-21.htm   (299 words)

A-12 Oxcart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A variant was the M-21, configured as a platform for launching the Lockheed D-21, a Mach 3+ reconnaissance drone that began development in October 1962. Originally known by the Lockheed designation Q-12, it was intended to be launched off the back of the M-21 for extra-long range flights and/or missions that were too dangerous for a manned vehicle, but the program was cancelled when the second conversion model crashed, killing a Lockheed test crewman. The A-12 Oxcart (named after the code name of the program it was developed for) was a reconnaissance aircraft built for the Central Intelligence Agency by Lockheed's famed Skunk Works. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/A-12_Oxcart   (517 words)

Lockheed Ventura for RAF The Lockheed Ventura was the result of a September 1939 proposal by Lockheed to the British Air Ministry for a military version of the Model 18 Lodestar twin-engined 15/18-passenger commercial transport. The Ventura I was first delivered to the RAF in September of 1941, and went into service with No 21 Squadron at Bodney, Norfolk, in May of 1942. On June 22, 1942, Wing Commander R. King, commander of No. 21 Squadron and his crew were killed when their Ventura was hit by flak in an attack on an enemy gun position near the Abbeville-Drucat airfield. home.att.net /~jbaugher2/b34_1.html   (1883 words)

WW2 Warbirds: the Lockheed PV-1 Ventura - Frans Bonné Lockheed Ventura Mk II This version (Lockheed Model 37-21-01) was based on the Ventura Mk I, but was powered by 2 × Pratt and Whitney R-2800-31 Double Wasp radial, built to US military rather than civil standards. Like described in the introductory text at the top of this page, the Ventura (Lockheed Model 37) was adapted for military use from the Model 18 Lodestar, resulting in the Model 21. This version (Lockheed Model 237-27-01) had a bigger fuel capacity, the ability to carry drop tanks, lightened gun armament, a more diverse load of disposables, and naval equipment including an ASD-1 surface search radar. www.xs4all.nl /~fbonne/warbirds/ww2htmls/lockpv1.html   (64 words)

DREAMLAND Timeline The Lockheed D-21 TAGBOARD ramjet powered unmanned reconnaissance drone was launched for the first time from a dorsal pylon on the M-21 mothership. The U.S. Air Force filed a notice in the Federal Register seeking to withdraw 3,972 acres of land from public on the eastern perimeter of the DREAMLAND section of the Nellis Air Force Range. The U.S. Air Force issued a proposal (ex post facto) for the withdrawal of the 89,000 acres of land in the Groom Mountains that had already been seized in 1984. www.dreamlandresort.com /area51/dreamland_timeline.html   (6530 words)

Hundreds of jobs on line in Learjet, TAA dispute Learjet claims the $900,000 rent increase for DunnAir is not "excess rent" or "profit recaptured," but rather revenue that will be used to pay off the $11 million Learjet paid Lockheed and the $28 million Learjet spent for improvements at Tucson International Airport in the late 1990s, McDonough said. Learjet has lined up a new company to take over aircraft completion work in the 235,000-square-foot former Lockheed hangar. Learjet pays TAA $313,000 per year for a 32.7-acre plot on Aero Park Boulevard, but the three-year sublease calls for DunnAir to pay Learjet $1.2 million per year. www.tucsoncitizen.com /index.php?page=business&story_id=072104d1_dunnair   (6530 words)

A short history of the Blackbird family of planes In August of 1959, the CIA awarded a contract to the Lockheed Skunk Works for the development of a Mach 3 aircraft called the A-12. For 30 years he headed Lockheed's Skunk Works and played a leading role in the design of more than 40 of the world's most advanced aircraft-among them the SR-71, U-2, F-104 and P-38. Sadly, on 21 December 1990, Kelly Johnson died at the age of 80. www.habus.org /revealed/history.htm   (1581 words)

Wings Models - Product List - Don's Model Works 1/48 scale vacuform model of the Lockheed GTD-21, a reconnaissance drone developed during the 1960s as a means of compliance with President Kennedy's pledge to cease manned recon missions over the USSR after the loss of the U-2 piloted by Gary Powers. The GTD-21 was carried on top of a modified A-12 (later a modified B-52H) and launched near the area to be observed, so that only the unmanned drone would actually fly over the territory of the target country. With the Korean War outbreak, Lockheed placed most of its production resources into making the F-80 "Shooting Star" and F-90 production was cancelled. www.donsmodelworks.com /list_wm.htm   (14700 words)

Lockheed The design of the Lockheed model 18 followed on from the Lockheed 14 Super Electra, the first prototype being flown on September 21, 1939. Lockheed failed to achieve worthwhile sales in the United States as most operators were committed to the purchase of the DC-3, but it did appeal to export customers. The Navy actually converted 12 PV-1s (Lockheed Lodestars) to a VIP configuration similar to the one we are now flying. www.milehighcaf.org /lockheed.asp   (379 words)

Lockheed Machinists going back to work Larry Hale, a 21-year Lockheed employee, said workers were so humiliated by the strike's sudden collapse that few would want to mention it. There were few confrontations on picket lines during the strike, but Lockheed workers said the walkout will leave a legacy of division between workers who stayed away from their jobs and those who did not. About 5,000 Lockheed managers and salaried workers labored at blue-collar jobs during the work stoppage, and Greer said aircraft delivery schedules are unchanged. www.palmbeachpost.com /weather/content/shared/money/stories/0503/LOCKHEED_0316_COX.html   (635 words)

MIG-21 'Fishbed' Never very outstanding in acceratation the MIG 21 has been popular due to its cheap and frequently modified design and its agility, apart from the Lockheed C-130 it is probably the most popular military aircraft of all time. A delta wing but having separate tail fins which increase air combat ability the MIG 21 is a classic design surviving far beyond its original role and in over 40 countries throughout the world. First seen in 1956 in blurred airshow photographs the MIG 21 emerged from the shadows in 1962 when India announced that they were buying the MIG 21. www.rickard.karoo.net /articles/weapons_mig21.html   (635 words)

RAF History - Bomber Command 60th Anniversary The Ventura entered service with No 21 Squadron at the end of May 1942, some 18 months later than planned and made its debut in November. By April 1943, Ventura losses were beginning to mount and a month later the aircraft's inadequacies were shown in a daylight attack on a power station near Amsterdam. The final bomber op for the Ventura was flown in September 1943, by which time Ventura squadrons had transferred to the Second Tactical Air Force. www.raf.mod.uk /bombercommand/ventura.html   (389 words)

Read Darwin -B Is for Bribery - MORAL COMPASS - Magazine - Darwin Online for Informed Executives Lockheed paid $12.5 million in "commissions" or "fees" to ANA and Japanese government officials to obtain the sale of 21 Tristar aircraft. Soon after the Lockheed bribery scandal broke, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) was put into place, prohibiting bribery of foreign government officials by American companies. For example, the $12.5 million was a negligible cost to Lockheed and the revenue dollars were desperately needed to stabilize Lockheed's shaky financial situation. www.darwinmag.com /read/070103/bribery.html   (1286 words)

Lockheed Martin Overview Roughly 2,800 now work on the program there for Lockheed Martin, which is the nation's biggest defense contractor, with $21.9 billion in prime contract awards during fiscal 2003. A Lockheed Martin official rejected the argument that ballistic-missile defense is being rushed. The $812 million contract Lockheed Martin received last October from the Defense Department's Missile Defense Agency to modify some of the Navy's existing 69 Aegis ships for ballistic-missile defense was equivalent in value to the cost of 13 new Aegis systems. www.brandywinepeace.com /overview.html   (1904 words)

Amelia Earhart Starting on May 21, from Oakland, California, in the repaired Lockheed Electra, she and her navigator, Fed Noonan, stayed over land as much as possible. Flying a custom-built Lockheed Model 10E Electra, equipped with extra-large gas tanks, she would follow a 'close to the Equator' route, thus going one better than Wiley Post's northern, mid-latitude route. With her navigator, Fred Noonan, her Lockheed Electra was last heard from about 100 miles from the tiny Pacific atoll, Howland Island on July 2, 1937. www.acepilots.com /earhart.html   (1581 words)

Lockheed D-21 Tagboard 21 of these were expended in tests and operational missions, and the remaining 17 vehicles were placed in storage. Also in late 1963, the Q-12 was renamed D-21 and the carrier aircraft became the M-21 (M = "Mother", D = "Daughter") to prevent confusion from the proliferation of "-12" designations in the Blackbird family. The D-21 also received the project name Tagboard. www.designation-systems.net /dusrm/app4/d-21.html   (1034 words)

ipedia.com: Frederick Banting Article At the pinnacle of his brilliant career, Dr. Banting was killed on February 21, 1941, when the Lockheed Hudson patrol bomber he was travelling to England in crashed shortly after takeoff from Gander, Newfoundland. He was also involved in research in biological weapons, both in terms of countermeasures and methods for mass production of anthrax, although the exact nature of this research remains unclear even today. The exact purpose of his flight to England remains a mystery, but it appears likely he was going to meet with counterparts in an effort to convince them to produce biological weapons as a last-ditch weapon in case of a German invasion of England. www.ipedia.com /frederick_banting.html   (485 words)
