Lockheed Hints Again At The Existence Of A Secret High Speed Jet
Story by Oliver Parken • Yesterday 8:30 PM

For those of you active on Twitter, it would have been hard to miss the buzz surrounding the Oscars yesterday evening. Top Gun: Maverick, the second highest-grossing film of 2022, racked up an impressive total of six Academy Award nominations, including for Best Picture, Film Editing and Visual Effects. The film's sound team deservedly went on to win the Oscar for Best Sound.
 
Even Jimmy Kimmel opened the show with a Top Gun: Maverick spoof, complete with F/A-18 Super Hornet flyover:


In celebration of Maverick's Oscar nomination success, Lockheed Martin – whose legendary Skunk Works advanced projects division worked with the producers of the movie on the fictional "Darkstar" hypersonic aircraft – tweeted a series of "Real Top Gun" images in the lead-up to the ceremony. One tweet, in particular, caught people's attention immediately.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
