I’m selling food in my empanada trailer at a brewery in NE Maryland and a low flying stealth bomber flys over. I see occasional A-10’s usually in a pair from the air guard. But this was a big surprise. _________________ 1973 standard, yellow, lowered, 3” narrowed front, 1600 blo-thru turbo w/single dell 15.4@86, so far

It was loud. But, I think a F-16 at the same altitude would have been much louder. When I lived in Virginia Beach, we had the naval air base near by. F-16’s all day long and the Blue Angels when they were in town. All cool stuff. Now, I’m near Aberdeen Proving Ground’s and get Chinooks flying over. I heard APG has a strip for emergency Air Force One landings. They also had one of the first captured kublewagons. _________________ 1973 standard, yellow, lowered, 3” narrowed front, 1600 blo-thru turbo w/single dell 15.4@86, so far

If that was a Naval Air Station you lived next to those more likely would have been F/A-18s. The F-16 is an Air Force bird. _________________ Larry in OB

Wait, you "had the naval base near by (sic)." But you apparently had "F-16’s all day long..." You do know that F-16's are Air Force planes and have nothing to do with the navy. Not like the "new" F-35's which are configured for each military air branch... |

I definitely saw one fly over in SW Missouri in the mid '90s where I grew up- I looked up during marching band practice and there was the unmistakable silhouette- makes sense, though, since they're stationed at Whiteman AFB. Years earlier, I was on a field trip to Warrensburg, MO near Whiteman for a children's author event, IIRC, and saw a black sliver of a plane with fighter escort flying low. This was was pre B-2 service, and it seems doubtful it was an SR-71, so in hindsight, maybe it was a Rockwell B-1 Lancer. _________________ '74 412 wagon

Blinder fluid? Is that part of their stealth technology? If so, that's a new one... |

It was published in Pravda…or maybe Isvestia. I’ve lost my subscription since Bitcoin went tied to rubles. _________________ .ssS! |

The land in lived in Florida, was part of the militaries training routes for jets.
Lots of F15's(Or f whatevers), a few warthogs when i was little, giant ass cargo planes.
I dont remember if I saw a stealth bomber in Florida, or if it was when I was visiting Connecticut.
But for reals tho. I just be trying to sleep and then I hear giant turbines rush over my roof top. Ever seen an F15 4 telephone poles from the ground? It do be loud. _________________ -'85 c10 5.3 LS, 222 cam, long tubes, x pipe, 3 inch spin tech's

Dover air base had their show this past weekend. Thunderbirds AND the Blue Angels performed. If you were in Maryland, you got a free show _________________ John

Living near a practice bombing run in east central AZ. the B-1's flew and the B-52's low and slow. Kinda cool to see the planes. _________________ Volkswagen: We tune what we drive.

We never got to see the cool planes like that at the bombing range in Boardman, OR - just the zoomies from Whidbey and the Air National Guard based in Pendleton would use it on occasion. _________________ Xargaret
