Chris,

One of the articles says that Russbacher flew a particlar model SR-71, a YF-12A. "The SR-17 model was the YF12 A, a two-seater. According to Russbacher, Bush had few words to say on the return flight."-Harry V. Martin, 1991. Now this sounded a little familiar to me, so I looked it up. There were apparently 3 YF-12A's built. One crashed and was cut in half in the late 60's (with the back used to make another SR-71, and the front half sitting in Burbank), one crashed and destroyed in 1971, and One was retired in November 1979, to be placed on permanent display at the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH. The meeting was supposed to have happened in Oct 1980.
