Took the grandkids(7&10) to Sully yesterday. All three of us loved it. Noticed that sully flew F-4's, my all-time favorite. (Eastwood,Hanks and F-4's).

Bladecutter's "Flag" is stowed inside the F-22 for todays DOD Mission.
It's a 9.5' X 5' Ceremonial flag
Currently folded in a rectangle but after flight I'll fold it in the triangle with stars displayed.
Today, 20 September 2016
Pilot will "take it up vertical to 10K, straight up!
Then the 22's will go on their mission, later he will Mach + and climb up to 60K.

What non-classified info can you tell us about what happened? Glad the pilots got out okay.

Funny thing is:
"We" here at Edwards received a "Global" e-mail informing us..
When "WE" lost ship 4008 in 2009, we were on a Black-out"
No one could say anything...
So, it was the AF that announced it to everyone and very I must say, very Transparent (I hate that metaphor)
