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Part of our history has been archived by our first President, Dale Ross Stith (Lockheed Avionics), at both Texas Tech and the University of Dallas.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, Vista, CA. This material will be archived at The Museum of Flight, https://www.museumofflight.org/​

​

If you are writing an article about the YO-3A airplanes and their prototypes, QT-2PC and Q-Star, I encourage you to contact Kurt Olney at k.olney2@cox.net. Kurt can supply you with accurate information, photos, documents, and other materials that will set your article or book apart.   

​

​The Quiet Aircraft Association generously encourages you to use the material on this website to help you tell the story of the YO-3A and make this aviation history more widely known. However, please respect copyrights and credit this website as a source. If uncertain, contact Kurt Olney k.olney2@cox.net
