I know I shouldn't be correcting anyone seeing how I wrote "add" instead of "ad" but

The F117 was the Nighthawk powered by a Turbofan engine from GE.

The SR71 was the blackbird powered by a P&W TurboJet. Which at speed was close to a Ramjet configuration.

They both did come from Lockheed and you are correct on the RamJet thought. (And I shouldn't be splitting hairs about any of that)

But hey our Ford head honcho Alan Mulally came from the aviation industry....Boeing

Sorry... The Blackbird is my favorite aircraft of all time. (P51 Mustang a close 2nd)
