Saving The Plane Known as Article 122
Former employees of the top secret Area 51 military base are banding together to try and save an A-12 known as Article 122.
Only 15 A-12's were ever built but Article 122 was special even for an A-12. Advanced composite materials were included in its titanium structure and because of other design changes.
The plane is now on display at USS Intrepid, New York and the salt water is damaging it.
The International Roadrunners organization, made up of former Groom Lake employees, are working hard to see Article 122 returned home to Nevada.
You can visit this webpage to see the damages done to it.
