Hopefully interesting side note:
I worked at Lockheed to earn college $ in the '60s. (F-104's)
People on the U-2 side of the house talked about go carts and such,
we were utterly denied any sight or sound.
But I've been told that folks working across the runway sat out in the noon-day sun to eat their lunch in plain view of ready to deliver (late at night) blackbirds.
