You'd think with all the brand names Ern used he'd have given that one a cool name.

I reckon the 'Elroy' would be good too. Wasn't he a a bit of an inventor.

I believe that the term "Skunkworks" was first used for P. Kelly's shop at Lockheed - that developed the U2 and then the SR-71 shortly after that (they keep that secret longer) this was in the 50's for the U2 and the late 50s and early 60s for the SR-71 "Blackbird"...which was way way ahead of its time, I believe that most of its "published" records still stand. The same team that developed the F117 and probably a lot of things we don't want to know....and they used slide rules.... Originally Posted by sharptonn
