Saw one of these banking right over my head. They looped around
and made more than half a dozen passes.

It blew my mind. I looked up and spotted it just as it was banking
right in front of us. I waved to the guy on his third pass--black
hat against a white sail. It seemed to work because he came around
and turn close to us the last few passes.

These planes are almost invisible when seen edge on--approaching and
receding. It's not wonder they are invisible to radar.


It's a great piece of machinery. Too bad the Democrats aren't letting
Bush use it for what it was designed for. Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq
and Iran would be a shiny, glowing glass parking lot.
