About the information on this website:
In 2004, the Quiet Aircraft Association (QAA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was established by former Lockheed Missiles & Space Company employees and United Military deployment team members involved in the QT-2 PC and YO-3A programs. Founded to preserve and share the history of these programs, the QAA held its first gathering in 2004, the first since the YO-3A program ended in September 1971. This website showcases the group’s efforts over the past two decades.
Part of our history has been archived by our first President, Dale Ross Stith (Lockheed Avionics), at both Texas Tech and the University of Dallas. The remainder of the historical material is currently with Kurt Olney---Crew Chief YO-3A 69-18007 RVN 1970-71-- Vista, CA. This material will be archived at The Museum of Flight, https://www.museumofflight.org/
