I don't know if I have any data left on the plane I worked on, maybe I can find out. I'll check and see.

New FOUND IT!
Okay, the plane made (or actually, not made) by McDonnell Douglas was called the A-12 Attack Jet. It was a carrier based, stealth attack aircraft, suitable for uses in such theaters as the Persian Gulf.

The project was cancelled in 1991 due to a lack of progress and supposedly problems which were attempted to be covered up. I worked on it until it was cancelled.

Hope that helps clear up which plane is which. :)
