TD Barnes said there are project he worked on in the 60s and 70s that never saw the light of day. So there was more than Oxcart and Aquatone going on even back then. Since then we've seen the Red Hats (and related "Constant" projects), Have Blue, Tacit Blue, B2, Bird of Prey ... did I miss anything we're sure of? The RQs maybe, but more likely they were out of Tonopah (maybe even Creech). The Stealthhawk (blackhawk from UBL raid) is likely at Groom, but could be at Tonopah. The Brits have something going on... And the tech demonstrator(s) for B21... Considering we're talking 60 years of R&D, I'd be surprised if that's 50% of what's actually happened out there. I'd also be surprised if this is the first time we've had allies out there testing classified tech. And the official name of National Classified Test Facility makes me think it's much more than just the Air Force playing around in the desert. Just thoughts.
