Actually, quite a bit of the original Skunk Works stayed at Burbank at least into the late 70's and early 80's. A good friend of mine was an engineer there and often had to make late night runs into work to supervise lifting some exotic flight surface out of a jig. That's the extent of my knowledge of his work. Any further questions were deflected with a statement about band conditions or some such.

A-yep. Skunk Works(r) is a registered trademark of Lockheed-Martin Corporation. It began during WWII in Burbank, California but later moved to more "secure" quarters. Anyone heard of "Groom Lake" or "Area 51"? That's them! (Or part of them). Still, many companies and organizations have called the location where their 'secret' new product development is going on the "company skunk works". As in all of those still trying to figure out exactly where the Elecraft "skunk works" are located...Hi! Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Hmmm ... be careful. Lockheed (now Lockheed Martin and not related to the inventor of the Retro-Encabulator) may have a trademark registered on "Skunk Works." It became fairly famous for secret airplanes such as the U2 and F-117A. Fred K6DGW Edward R.
