  • Master Sgt. Byron 'Ozzy' Osborn has worked on the F-117A for nearly 19 years. A fitting retirement, he chose to leave the service on the same day as the Silver Stealth flyover.

  • Flying at extremely high altitudes, the B-2 Stealth bomber has been at the forefront of setting great expectations. Part of the 509th Bombing Wing at Whitman AFB Missouri, these bombers are tasked with flying extreme distances. During bombing runs over Afghanistan, B-2's were flying halfway across the world and back incurring 36-hour long missions between a crew of two. High over the Nellis Range Complex, two B-2A 'Spirit' stealth bombers await clearance to drop precision guided weaponry.

  • Utilizing sharply angled faceted edges, the F-117A Nighthawk introduced the world to the reality of a new kind of technology, stealth. Stationed at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico, these aircraft remained a mystery until their unveiling in the late 1980's. Today the technology brought to light by the F-117 is becoming outdated and faceted edges are no longer needed to obtain stealth characteristics.

  • Just as the United States Navy has done for over 200 years, the air force began commissioning certain aircraft by giving them individual names. Here the B-2A 'Spirit' stealth bomber named 'Spirit of Kitty Hawk', lifts off from runway 3R at Nellis Air Force Base. For this particular exercise held in early 2006, four B-2A bombers from the 509th Bombing Wing, normally stationed at Whiteman AFB, attended providing ground support to advancing warfighters.

  • The unmistakable silhouette of the Batman-like B-2A stealth bomber takes to the evening skies to begin the second round of the day's Red Flag exercises. Even during nighttime missions, nothing is held back. Aircraft numbers remain the same, missions and goals are increased in intensity and pilots are still expected to meet their respective objectives.

  • At an average cost of $2 billion dollars by 1998 standards, the Northrop Grumman B-2A stealth bomber is more costly than a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier and just under double its weight in gold. Only twenty-one B-2A's were built, all stationed at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri under the command of the 509th Bombing Wing. Despite the limited production of the YB-49 Flying Wing in the late 1940's, the B-2A is the first flying wing designed aircraft to enter service.

  • Introducing the F-117A to Holloman AFB in 1992 as the Commander of the 49th Fighter Wing, Gen. Lloyd "Fig" Newton (retired), stands next to Brig. Gen. David Goldfein, current Commander of the 49FW. Brig. Gen. Goldfein became the last 'Bandit', #708, when he flew his first F-117A Sept. 14, 2006.

  • Making its way down the flightline, F-117A AF 88-0843 named 'Affectionately Christine', was the last F-117A off the Lockheed Martin production line. Later the aircraft would adorn the American Flag paited on her underside as she would be the last F-117A to be flown to the Tonopah Test Range in Nevada by Lt. Col John K. Forsythe to be retired. Here the aircraft is seen taking part in the 25-ship formation flight to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the F-117A Night Hawk.

  • On April 21, 1999 The Dragon aircraft, #86-0837 suffered extensive damage in an unspecified landing accident. The aircraft belonged to the Detachment 1, 79th Test and Evaluation Group and therefore wore a tailcode of "OT". The accident was reported as a Class A mishap. According to some sources, the damage was quickly repaired and the Dragon was flying again as of October 1999.

  • General Atomics P46 Predator 'C', "Avenger" as seen from Clay Lacy's specially modified LearJet flying high over the Southern California desert on its third test flight. The latest generation Predator is a jet-powered remotely-piloted vehicle (RPV) that is nearly twice the size of its predecessor. Featuring an internal weapons bay, retractable gear, a blended wing design, top-mounted intake and shielded exhaust, the stealthy airframe can cruise at 50,000 feet and can perform multiple tasks from reconnaisance to attack roles.

  • A rear view of an F-117A Nighthawk shortly after take off shows the heat dispersing exhaust designed to reduce the heat signature sought out by heat-seeking missiles and infrared vision scopes. One of the military's best-kept secrets, the F-117A Nighthawk has seen action all over the world and many speculate it will soon be put to rest. According to proposed defense budgets, the F-117 is scheduled to be retired by the end of 2007 in favor of the F-22 Raptor.
