Re: Aircraft pics
Yeah Sam, they wish.
Found a nice evening shot of a pair of F-117s northbound over Saudi during Desert Storm. Hard to believe the F-117 is no longer in service. Remote-piloted drones are the future of aerial warfare. Cheaper too. No more Buck Rogers, no more Wild Blue Yonder.

Re: Aircraft pics
KC-135 actually has a SOLL II mission, but then again they would be doing the low levels at NIGHT !!

Bill, just out of curiosity, where is the ash tray in the F 15 cabin?

I just missed the smoking era--it was banned in 1987-88 just as I entered flight school. Old-timer KC-135 guys in my squadron said it could get pretty smoky in the cockpit if everyone lit-up. (During two-hour touch-and-go practice sessions in the airbase traffic pattern they'd open the pilot's cockpit side windows to vent-out the smoke--yes at 180 knots on downwind. There was just enough airflow to suck the smoke out while not causing a tornado blast in the cockpit.) The nicotine would stick the cabin pressurization outflow valves and cause cabin pressure problems even several years after smoking onboard had been banned. If you looked at the valves located in the main wheelwell on your preflight walk-around they were still nicotine-stained after almost ten years.
