There seemed to be some surprise that when VMFA 115 transited through Spain early in December there were 2 seaters in a traditional single seat squadron. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-z...

Re: Unusual test shape at Helendale?

Covered extensively in Dreamland resort discussion forum under thoughts, apparently a genuine video.
Most likely some calibration model.

Re: F-117s

Where are the serials on the aircraft? There does not appear a serial on the tail,only the TR code in white or red, have not noticed one on the inside of the nose gear door, is it on the outside? Just seen a picture on Twitter, 841 is painted on front edge of the inside of I think the bomb bay doors...
