Who would have thought they transported them by road in big boxes from the Skunkworks in Palmdale, CA to Area-51!

IMO yes. Valkyrie.

Good shout, although it's not quite as fast, or have those amazing hybrid turbo-ramjet engines. And it was only ever experimental.

I must make the trip to the USAF Museum to see the one (and only) they have on display there.
