But beyond the aircraft themselves, Area 51 - Black Jets also covers a handful of the many classified experimental programs carried out at Area 51 over the years, such as Have Doughnut, Have Ferry, and Have Drill-secret undertakings that successfully reverse-engineered such enemy aircraft as the Russian MiG during the Cold War.
