From the research I've done the F-22 and F-35 were not tested at Groom Lake, is that right? But they are, especially the F-35, some of the most advanced craft we have, at least known. I guess what I'm getting at is how do they figure what needs to be tested at Groom? Is it because it is basically "ok" for the world to know we have the F-22 and F-35, but some other projects in the black world are better left unknown to our enemies until they are needed? I guess things like the F-117 Stealth, no one knew we had this aircraft, then we surprised the crap out of them and nailed it in Op. Desert Storm. Groom is then only reserved for somethin of that level, right? Sorry kind of rambling on!
