Yeah, when the term Daisy was leaked out, the GT was re-named Project Petunia, hoping that the new name would confuse people. These types of 'ploys' were used to hide super-secret 'black' projects like the 'Manhatten Project'-A bomb or the Mach 3+ SR-71- Project OxCart :shock:

Many pilots of the time were the opinion that a fighter pilot in a closed cockpit was an impossible thing, because you should smell the enemy. You could smell them because of the oil they were burning.
