I remember the B-2 unveiling well. As the news anchor was wrapping up the story his closing remarks were something along the lines of "the Air Force plans to unveil 3 new stealth airplanes next year." I distinctly remember specifically the number "3". I knew the ATF program was producing 2 prototypes that were going to be shown to the public, and I assumed the 3rd plane was going to be the SR-71 replacement.So what ever happened to that 3rd airplane? I assume is stayed black. In an interview before he passed away, Tom Clancy said on video that one of his sources revealed to him the existence of a manned fighter sized supersonic stealth aircraft. I can't locate the video any longer.I think that it goes without saying the Pentagon isn't keeping those hangars out in the desert full of acquired Russian equipment and one-off demonstrators.
