Actually, the "advanced technology bomber" project that was started under Carter and scrubbed then became the "advanced technology bomber" under Reagan that evolved into the B-2. Those jobs that Carter wanted to do away with were transitioned to jobs that developed the B-2, F-117 and C-17. It was initially a Northrop/Grumman venture that later involved Boeing and did utilize the Skunkworks. The F-117 was also born from the same research and development. Boeing, as you know, acquired MD and development for their existing projects, including today's C-17.

That's funny! I remember being at Ramstein one time and they had some F104's on the ramp, one didn't look right, it was a two seater, so I walked over to get a closer look and the landing gear was a mess. I asked about it in Ops. and the local behind the desk said, "Yeah, a student had a problem landing it, went off the end..."
I think someone said final bug speed on the 104 was always over 165...?
Nice, if you have a long, dry runway!

I wanted to make this separate from the political-ish mumbo jumbo:
RIP Neil Armstrong. The true definition of a beyond world class pilot and astounding humility.
