bullllllet
this is the bullet that the A-10 Warthog fires from its cannon on the front.
it is a 30mm wide by 173mm long bullet and is made specifically for taking out TANKS! I finally have my very own to display on my bookshelf! :)

Wings Over Whiteman 2010
These pictures are from the Whiteman Air Force Base open house at Whiteman Air Force Base, locasted in the small town of Knob Noster, Missouri. Whiteman is home to all of the United States B-2 Stealth Bombers and this is one of the VERY few times the B-2 is on static display on the ground for people to get up close and see it first hand. Me and Molly took a trip down to MO specifically for this show because ive been waiting over 20 years to see a B-2 bomber in person.

our hotel:
the base entrance with a B-52 bomber standing guard:

A-10 Warthogs (Whiteman based):

AH-64 Apache (Whiteman based):
Apache weapons:
B-1 Bomber:
B-52 Bomber:
C-17 Globemaster:
C-130 Hercules:
F/A-18 Hornets:
KC-135 Stratotanker:
T-38 Talon (Whiteman based):
USAF Thunderbirds (F-16 Falcons):
Orange County Choppers B-2 Stealth chopper Motorcycle:
And last but not least, the star of the show, the B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber!
My first glimpse of the stealth through the fence as we pulled up to the base:
B-2s Taxiing RIGHT in front of us after we parked:
B-2 hangars:
THE STEALTH BOMBER!:
B-2 vs. people - size reference shot:
B-2 flyover:
B-2 second flyover - video:
Time to put the expensive toys away:
Sunday morning I decided to explore some backroads and found a field at the end of the runway on public property and two B-2s took off RIGHT over my head! This aint your everyday ordinary B-2 flyover, this thing was low enough to read the writing on the bottom of the plane!:
