That really sucks. I use to drive out to White Sands and watch them turn and burn....low! Those suckers could really haul some ass. But alas the F-22 is the new toy. Have not seen one fly yet, but can't wait

Well, I wonder if they will release official photos given they didn't want media on the base. I added two photographs to the web page. One is to show the haze that I had to shoot through. The other is the marker for the hill.

I also added a web page for the antenna crew on that was on the hill while we were photographing the F117as.
