The Skunk Works was founded
by C.L. "Kelly" Johnson in 1943, at the Burbank Airport near
Los Angeles, CA.. It has
since moved out to the high desert of Palmdale, CA . Also called "Advanced Development Projects"(ADP), but is still
referred to it's nickname of the "Skunk Works". Since the merger the new name for Lockheed is Lockheed Martin, thus
Lockheed Martin Skunk Works.
