Many years ago, I was visiting my parents who lived close to the Eglin AFB reservation. I had been hunting and was nearly back to the house when a plane flew overhead. It was nearing darkness but I could see the outline fairly well.
I later saw a model airplane kit which was supposed to be close to the still mysterious stealth fighter. The plane I had seen looked just about the same and I just assumed that was what I had seen.
When the real stealth fighter was finally revealed it looked nothing like the model. It did make me wonder if I had seen an unusual plane.
I remember seeing a modeling kit based on what they( the model company) THOUGHT the Stealth aircraft would look like. It resembled an SR-71.
