Dude, there's a crazy, a great story in Annie Jacobson's book, Area 51, where she explains how when the CIA first started test flying their first jet propelled airplanes in, I forget what year it was, super early.
uh they would send the cia test pilots up with gorilla masks in the cockpits so in the case they got into visual distance with a commercial aircraft they'd wear their gorilla mask wow so if someone they tried to go to the bar later be like yo i saw this airplane powered by jets that's crazy oh yeah who was flying it a gorilla
So you're like fucking throwing a curve ball into the story.
That's crazy.
Yeah, dude.
That's wild.
Yeah.
So imagine, man, imagine it.
That was probably what, the 40s they were doing that?
60s.
60s.
Imagine what they're fucking doing now, bro.
Dude, that's crazy.
That is crazy.
That is wild.
So this legacy program, is this a monolithic program or is there factions of this?
I think...
So you talk about, in the movie, you hear about the legacy program.
You hear other people talk about the legacy program on the internet.
It sounds like this big model, how people talk about the CIA, how the CIA is this big monolith.
