Thanks for all the kind words about my photos, but it'd kind of hard to mess up when they give you a F-117A fifteen feet away. Stevie Wonder could have taken great shots.

The only thing the ground crew did to hide anything, is they sat someone in the cockpit once they saw me taking pictures with a long lens. the individual sat there until the canopy was closed. It might just be SOP, as it is common to keep the canopys closed or covered if the aircraft is outside to prevent satellite observation of INSIDE THE COCKPIT. Which also is indicative of the resolution of the current orbital camera systems. Pretty close to the "infinite enlargement" spoken about in the movie "Ice Station Zebra" (they ought to remake that one, BTW they are going to make a "Miami Vice" movie).

Anyway thanks again guys, and I'll keep on sharing what I can.
