Mystery aircraft at Beechcraft Factory? What is it?


Playing on Google Earth, I looked at the Beechcraft factory in Wichita KS. On the ramp is a very long winged aircraft...U-2? Why would a U-2 be there?
I can guess the rest of them, but the long winged one has me stumped. The image quality is not good enough to really see detail. Does Beech have ties to Lockheed?
Just wondering.

Raytheon may have ties with a UAV. Some of those have some long wings.

4 of those aircraft are not producing any ground shadow...I would hazard a guess that they (including yonder long winged thing) are silhouttes painted on the tarmac...not an unknown thing for a manufacturer to do to confuse competitors.

Wasn't this photo taken in Iraq circa 1996?
