Well I posted elsewhere about the technology hidden from the world. Tech that is used to "drill" these enormous underground facilities. Not drills at all just equipment that melts the rock clean.

There is so much talk about area 51, the good stuff is suppose to be housed in the nearby papoose mountains. All the U2/A12/Blackbirds were flown here. Many of the UFO sightings are because of these flights. However I have heard some tall tales from very experieced fighter pilots over the last 25 years.

I left the USN in 1988 and the tech then was light years from what you think.

I can tell you this the latest generation of of experimental craft is flown at night and are not located in any type of hangar you can visualize. These are flown out of huge underground facilities and the runways open up like a zipper and close like one. Hidden from satelites completely and camouflaged to blend. That's about all I can say.

OXY,

Yes, USN. Well, it wasn't really a fighter "ride" per se, I flew Hornets for 24strait years-it was my daily driver-over 4600 hrs, 3 combat deployments and 423 carrier landings worth.

Great tool for killing people and breaking a lot of ****....great gig....

Now heading to Afghanistan all year to kill them with some other new and interesting "tools"....

GRUFF

Thanks for your service. Have you flown anything exotic that you can not talk about? lol Yeah I feel ya that's about an exact quote that I use from my SEAL days...get to blow up a lot of ****!!

Peace

Going fast on the water is a different sensation altogether than land. Passengers would practically piss their pants.
Cheers.

Yeah water I've found to be very thrilling at speeds with the friction between water and air. I'm not familiar with that route...going to look it up. My brother(grandfather's place) has an estate on Lake Tahoe and use to fool around racing Bill Harrah years ago there. I am younger and into cars and he was always into the yachts and speedboats.

I remember going what I think was over 100mph on a snowmobile on a smooth frozen lake.

I still get out on the Fox River occasionally on my buddy's 24' Skater w/twin 2.5 offshores, but even that lacks the thrill of balancing a pad hull at speed...

OXY,

Flown some foreign made airplanes. Nothing else I can say.

GRUFF

For those that like the water (and I agree, it feels twice as fast), here is pretty fast.:cool:
