The Stealth Fighter.

There were three Security Police inside the double rope security zone.  They had M-16's and were serious!

Stealth Fighter taxiing out to take off.

It received a lot of attention.

It's stealthy, but performance is not so hot.  That little dot at the departure end is the F-117 on take off.

I had never seen a B-1 before.   It is a HUGE plane.

"The Mother of all AFTERBURNERS."

The B-1 stayed around until Monday.  I was coming back from work when I saw it taking the active.  I pulled over and parked just outside the base perimeter.  From 3,000 away, I swear I felt the ground shake when the pilot lit these burners.

It took off and climbed out like a fighter.
