Sounds familiar. For reasons now lost in the mists of time I have "donkey punch" on my watchlist; it never ceases to amaze me how so little can be said in so many words by so many editors. For all that, it remains a "supposed sex move" which has never been documented by any reliable source as having been used. Guy (JzG)
If the very existence of the subject of an article is unverifiable, can the entire article be removed by any editor as unsourced?
It would be a shame to lose [[F-19]].
I have a book which explains the story of F-19 and how it came into being in about one paragraph; unfortunately I can't add the reference at the moment because I've lent it to someone.
Let me guess: you're related to Pierre de Fermat.
*grin*
Alright, I've found the reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Skunk_works&action=edit%C2%A7i...
Alright, it would help if I'd actually read the article...
Basically, the [[Testor Corporation]] took the front end of the [[SR-71 Blackbird]], stuck some wings on it, and sold it as a model kit; Lockheed and Air Force officials were furious that what was supposed to be a top-secret project had become a best-selling kid's Christmas present.
I have no idea if the rest of the article is true or not, but that's what I know about it. Well, at least it's a reference...
BTW, the same reference appears in [[Aurora aircraft]], which is also mostly speculation; according to Ben Rich, Aurora was the CIA codename for the /funding/ of the B-2. Getting enough money to build an aircraft that cost $2 billion apiece was such a monumnetal task that they codenamded it. I have no reason to believe otherwise; if such a plane /had/ existed, /someone/ would have heard about it.
