BTW: I saw the F-117A, but did anyone see the B-2? I didn't think it was
that stealthy.



But you have to admit. Seeing that B-2 fly is freaking WIERD! Even more so
than the first time you saw a Harrier do a performance, which is getting old
now (Can't believe I just said that

The B-2 just doesn't look like something that should fly.

I had the privilege of seeing the B-2 from *above*, flying out of Oshkosh a
couple of years ago. He was coming in for a low pass, and I was departing
to the south.

It looks even stranger from that angle, hard as that is to imagine.

G Back in the days before the F-117 was allowed to do static
displays at AFB Open Houses, the local Air Force bases would rope off
a large section of ramp and hang a sign on the rope that said "F-117A
Stealth Fighter". They would also include 3 sets of chocks where the
wheels were supposed to be. I was amazed at how many people fell for
it.
