Actually, the "advanced technology bomber" project that was started under Carter and scrubbed then became the "advanced technology bomber" under Reagan that evolved into the B-2. Those jobs that Carter wanted to do away with were transitioned to jobs that developed the B-2, F-117 and C-17. It was initially a Northrop/Grumman venture that later involved Boeing and did utilize the Skunkworks. The F-117 was also born from the same research and development. Boeing, as you know, acquired MD and development for their existing projects, including today's C-17.

Seating
APC question....Traveling to training (company business). Can we change our reserved seat on the flight to a Economy Comfort seat if it is available or do we have to stick with the standard Economy seat. The computer will let me do it, but I want to make sure it is OK for us to do so. Thanks in advance.

All of this military talk reminds me of all that I missed out on while flying the
Beech 1900C for Delta Express.
We didn't even have an autopilot in those things.
But you know, it was during those times flying in and out of our in Cleveland, looking out over the mountains, that I had my most religious experiences. I'd harken back to those first verses in the beginning of the Bible, Exodus chapter 12, and recite them: "And John the Baptist said, once upon a time..."

LOL... I've literally been chuckling for the last 10 pages or so, watching FTB and others dangle their bait, then load up even bigger bait and cast it out there, jiggling it and bobbing it up and down, waiting for that huge Dingus-fish to bite. This one has got to be some sort of art, I think every word in it is loaded. I can just picture the sun setting to the east of those beautiful mountains as I come in for a landing...
I'm giving 5:1 odds that the next doofer-fish hooked will once AGAIN be Timbo or CrewDawg... as every angler knows, any fish that will bite an empty hook once will grab it again.
