Lockheed

The Lockheed Corporation was an American aerospace company founded in 1926 (succeeding earlier Loughead operations from 1912) and headquartered in Burbank, California. Across more than seven decades it produced some of the most influential combat, transport and reconnaissance aircraft in aviation history, including the P-38 Lightning, F-104 Starfighter, U-2, C-130 Hercules, F-117 Nighthawk and the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird; in 1995 it merged with Martin Marietta to form Lockheed Martin (Wikipedia)
