Well this “regional airport” at Palmdale has seen some of the most cutting edge and secret programs come out: B-2, F-117, several technology demonstrators, the major drone programs, and was long associated with the A-12, SR-71 and U-2 (assembled elsewhere). So the site may be fairly well known, but what goes on behind the walls can indeed be very cutting edge and secret. Remember how surprised folks were when the stealth shapes saw the light of day. Plant 42 is perhaps the greatest example of hiding in plain sight.
