When I worked I used to schedule appointments for some of the guys and gals that worked for the Skunk Works/Lockheed Martin.

They were really nice guys and I got to speak with them about the planes that they built. One guy was really funny - He told me that if I really liked what they had built, I would love what they had in the shop- He couldn't tell me what they were but in the 7-8 years since I can see what they were doing.

The X32 and X35 were off the drawing board. The Global Hawk, the UCAV-F45 unmanned bird and the Predator were just being flight tested and the really strange looking bird, The Boeing Bird of Prey I had never seen or heard of before.

I heard that England had something to do with designing a bird that could fly Marines anywhere on the planet in about four hours.

I want a ride on that one!;)
