MossRoad,

Most flights, declared on FlightAware, are commercial or General Aviation. Most/ much of the really fun stuff, unless on training flights, out of Wright Patt or Edwards, etc are not documented on FlightAware. Can you imagine seeing a declared U-2 or B-2 fly out of Holloman AFB and heading overseas? Nothing like giving somebody a big heads up.

MossRoad,

A pic of a F35C signed by Lockheed's test pilot, Jon Beasley, who flew the first ever flight in a JSF. Spent 20+ years around these types of aircraft. Fun times to see these awesome tools up close and in the air.
