Well, smiles ((())). No, not quite "QX-71." Though I have seen the "designation "X-151." What the hell that means is anyone's guess.

Sometimes even after a program is cancelled, examples of the bird still flies. The real operational F-117B was just getting underway as the production run of the F-117A was ending. Sometimes even when one contractror is teamed with another contractor for an aircraft for the same type of mission, the main


contractor can go it alone and compete for the contract.

PS:
From an inside Skunk Works sources (previous employee), which reported the designation "XR-71" for one the programs at Groom.
