In the late 1990s, inside the Skunk Works building, there was a large chart depicting
the lineage of Skunk Works aircraft over the decades. From the XP-80 to the U-2, the SR-71 Blackbird, the F-117A Stealth Fighter, past the YF-22 and Dark Star to what Lazar says

of Skunk Works from 1975 to 1991, so at this time, he had been out
of the top slot for two years, but naturally, he still had a firm grasp
of the development of secret prototypes
