I had been working on her for 2 years at this point. Long video, but brings back memories for me.
They really have those. Drives me fucking nuts when I hear the U2 come out of Det 42 but I can't see her. I wish they'd also activate noise cancellation when they do that. Oh well trollololActivate cloaking shield.
Um, no. It's just that she can gain operating altitude in a very short distance, it's called a Tactical Takeoff. They just spiral up. Hard to see a black airframe also.They really have those.

Actually we'll have to agree to disagree. They have both visual and acoustical cloaking. They've been developing it up here since 2006/7. Back then you could see artifact, now it's seamless.Um, no.

When I worked a Boeing in the late 70's early 80's I had security clearance and a building maintenance ID card so I could go anywhere in the plant. I work at Boeing Field where Headquarters was located along with R&D departments. They have an entire hanger used as a model shop. 100's of model builders working on all kinds of mock-ups and wind tunnel test models. I saw things that looked like star wars ships, that years later I recognized as B1-B2-Stealth bombers. There were also things I couldn't describe that I still haven't seen reveled to this day...B-2's almost seem to be invisible from the side when they are flying. I could hear one flying when I was driving down there, but didn't see it until it made a turn, I was surprised to see it show up all of a sudden.
When I was working the F-22 project I was watching one in a holding pattern with a couple of F-16's. With the vectored thrust capability it flew like no other aircraft I have seen. The 16's would bank to make a turn and the 22 would just kind of pivot to make a turn. I was impressed.When I worked a Boeing in the late 70's early 80's I had security clearance and a building maintenance ID card so I could go anywhere in the plant.

I heard they could just drop out of a turn at will....When I was working the F-22 project I was watching one in a holding pattern with a couple of F-16's.

It was a long time ago and my descriptions would not do them justice. Prototypes of projects Boeing was working on that never made it into production or has yet to re reveled. Wierd looking crafts with little or no wings or foreword facing wings. Just bazaar looking stuff. Some could have been satellites, Boeing has a space division...*revealed.
What a cryptic tease. Leaving out the best part. Don't go shy on us now. Are we talking prototypes of aircraft, or something in the men's room? Give us a hint ffs.
I saw the first aircraft shot down by the F-22. White Sands.Mariel boatlift
And more - much more.
Now I'm sad. I loved the F-4.@GreatwhiteNorth Why sad? It was an F-4 drone.
Proof positive if you put a big enough engine in an aircraft the aerodynamics don't really matter, AKA the flying rock.Now I'm sad. I loved the F-4.
How the heroes dieNow I'm sad. I loved the F-4.
