Much of the U-2 testing took place at #Area51, aka Watertown. U-2’s first official test flight happened 4 Aug 1955.pic.twitter.com/aXWeSHq8Ou
#Area51 was chosen by U-2’s Development Projects Staff because the U-2 could be tested safely & secretly there.pic.twitter.com/OHLyyBTAeV
#Area51 was not part of Nevada Proving Ground, U-2 staff asked it be added & deal approved by President Eisenhower.pic.twitter.com/d8nxqONEko
To make #Area51 more attractive to pilots & workers @LockheedMartin’s Kelly Johnson, called it “Paradise Ranch.”pic.twitter.com/NxotXYJD85
#Area51 was also called “Watertown” because runoff from surrounding mountains would flood dry lakebed of Groom Lake.pic.twitter.com/Cgfj0zi7Zi
