And yes, when he wasn't soaring across the southwestern United
States in his 301 Libelle, he worked at Lockheed. He was Deputy
Project Manager on the U-2 program, Head Structural Engineer on the
SR-71, and later, Technical Director of the "Skunk Works"!


Oh bingo! Any chance you could ask him where the code name
`Dragon Lady' for the U-2 came from?
