At Scott Air Force Base yesterday with a nebbie Chimp (Mudbone) Thanks Reggie for getting us in before everyone was there!!!

The person on the right of the pic is a military person. I couldnt ask him to get out of my pic. He said, "Take all the pic's you want, BUT DONT EVEN THINK OF CROSSSING THE ROPE!!!! You would even know what hit you"

All the stealth fighters are flown of Missouri. Even when it bombed Iraq, it start its 42 hour flight from Whiteman AFB in MO, dropps it bombs and flies back!!! ONE PILOT!!!! THATS IT!!!

I want this pic in my portfolio - I dont think I'll be getting this shot anytime soon:

Cool shot.

Thanks Bulleye, Fred & Bob. Bob - that might be right. But the people there told me, normally when it flies, its usaully one person. Who knows Not hard to convice me otherwise I did find it hard to believe, because when I asked him about sleep, he said its on auto pilot. again, who knows Not me.

reminds me of the space ship in the garage in my favorite martian, (im really showing my age with that one) What do you think of croping off some of the bottom to make it a wide pano like shot???

I know you are asking Todd about the crop but IMO I would not crop it along the bottom at all. I may take a bit off the top but not alot. the lines on the bottom add so much drama to the image, I would have to leave at least on row of lights on the top. This image speaks the thousand words we all hear so much about.

It does look very sci-fi. I like the yellow line leading to the plane and the flag behind it.

Todd very nice shot, I love how the flag is centered right behind the B-2. there is a crew of 2, they will take turn flying on those lovely flights overseas. One will fly and the other will lay down on a cot and take a nap until its time to work, watched a show about them on TLC.The great engineers at Northrup even put in a toilet for the crew.
