Tech. Sgt. Ben Bloker, United States Air Force
Please make Sarah Palin become POTUS in 2012
so that she can order more F-22 Raptors back into
Production again.
Enhanced for security? no exhaust or flame or even a mirage effect from heat coming out of back
...usually the underbelly of an aircraft has little nasty bits...*grins*...but because of the stealthy stuff, a small screw can give it away.
Too bad Dems don’t like them.
They’ve got one in the Air Force museum along with a B2. Talk about stupid!
HIGH FLIGHT !!!
Just enjoy these photos sooooo much.
