A-12 Oxcart: The CIA Had a Mach 3.2 Spy Plane The CIA’s A-12 Oxcart, a top-secret Cold War spy plane, was built to fly faster and higher than any predecessor, reaching Mach 3.2 at altitudes of 90,000 feet.

The A-12 Oxcart was ahead of its time, but politics, satellites, and the SR-71 clipped its wings. Fast, stealthy, and forgotten too soon—classic case of unrealized potential.
