Vanguard.jpg
Earlier I had written about flying on the Viscount as a kid. Turns out I was wrong, it was the Vanguard. Here's a picture from an excursion in 1962, I'm the kid next to the ground crew in white coveralls, along with my mom, uncle and sister. Not overly tight security back then.
 
So:
For what it's worth:
Two significant advancements here in the Antelope Valley (Edwards AFB) lately.
1. There have been numerous sightings in Palmdale of an Advanced Flying platform.
(Home to the USAF, Contractor's: Lockheed-Martin Skunk Works, Boeings Advanced Phantom Works and Northrop's Facility)
2. My "Bud" and Big Boss, the LEAD Engineer on our F-22 has been wearing a few neat Shirts with Big eyes
Allegedly the STINGRAY/B-21 Raider
It IS here at Edwards tucked away during the daytime but flying at night?
