"Half Blue"?
[edit]was there a version called Half Blue? On a recent Discovery Channel show someone was talking about a crash that was buried at groom lake and called it this, perhaps he misspoke?
Nope. I am pretty sure you are thinking of Lockheed Have Blue, the experimental design which led to the F-117 Nighthawk.
Yeah I agree the guy must have misspoke. I touched this aircraft, like the article says it is on display at the Air Force Museum. Its cool to think that this was such a high profile secret at one point, and now you can see it for yourself. :)
changes mar 2007
[edit]I updated a reference to the museum placement and removed conjecture about it being designated an F-117D. The source for that conjecture was not a reliable source (a conspiracy webpage that itself did not cite a source). --Chuck Sirloin 15:07, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Speed correction
[edit]"# Maximum speed: 68 mph (462 km/h)"
This has to be false, as these two are not even close to equivalent speeds :) Also nothing with wings that short could ever stay aloft at 68mph.
Anyone have the real info? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by StarKruzr (talk • contribs) 21:18, 8 April 2007 (UTC).
- They look the same to me. There is a difference in lighting, which is what I think you're seeing. - BillCJ (talk) 17:32, 23 October 2008
Name of this plane
[edit]Bill RVed my change to the lead of this article, based on "BRD". I don't know what BRD is, nor do I care, as this article's title is not the name of an aircraft, but the name of the program. If the aircraft does have a name that includes the manufacturer, it would be closer to "Northrop Whale", or more likely, a model number. Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:42, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
