I live very close to Whitman AFB and get to see many different aircraft. My favorite has to be the Stealth. Every time I see it...I am in awe of how beautiful a machine can be.

Awesome picture. I had the opportunity to tour the inside on a B once. I could no afford the ride at the time, but to be inside that plane, I flt like I was in a very special place.
I was just reading a news article about the underwater recovery of a Stuka Ju87 from WWII, they seem to think it's in good enough shape to rebuild !!!!
The story about the Stuka also linked a 2011 B-17 crash, the "Liberty Bell". I didn't know about it, that's so sad, one less flying B-17

After 20 years in the Air Force, I've seen more than my share of air shows...but there's nothing like the sound of a WWII vintage flying machine to get my heart pumping! Jets be damn--give me a big, old radial any day.
