Nope, but was thinking 'tumbleweed' may have been more appropriate as the boys left the jet as it pancaked in!

Few laccky bands, bitta boot polish and some chewy should sort it out.

I don't think the environmentally controlled hangar will be much use now though, mind you it will be agood place to play Uckers out of the humidity in the spare bay

Was that not the one that John Travolta was flying (was it called 'Broken Arrow') ?

Broken Arrow

Langball,

I don't believe Mr Travolta is T.R on the B-2 but he was indeed supposed to be piloting said a/c in the film. Co-starring Christian Slater and the divine Samantha Mathis.

A Billion dollar aircraft...

You can only imagine what was going through the minds of the pilots as they pulled the yellow & black.

"Fk, I hope this wasn't my fault!!"

Don't think much of the stealth technology you could see those white sheets miles away.
