| Agent Smith  |  Question for MikeD: Bomber? :) Hey Mike, my last trip was with a former special ops MC-130 aircraft commander. He wanted me to ask you how it feels to fly the "B-117"?  He started laughing afterward so it's obviously sarcasm! |

| Re: Question for MikeD: Bomber? :) That makes me think... Why is is F-117? I've never heard of a F-117 doing tasks such as other fighters, it acts more like a bomber. Shouldn't it be F/B-117 then?  |

| Re: Question for MikeD: Bomber? :) I asked that same question a while back. Here's the answer I got: Read Me! Scroll back through that same thread for some other interesting F-117 information (although probably not all completely accurate... ) |

One of the 130s based at DM was departing the Class C and missed a few of ATCs radio calls. I couldn't help but wonder.....there's 4 dudes in that cockpit. How the hell are they missing radio calls if they're not NORDO? It's all good clean fun to rag on each other! |

| Agent Smith | Re: Question for MikeD: Bomber? :) Former "ego" ooops "Eagle" driver wanted me to ask you something, but I can't remember. Something about the sonic targets or something and the A-10... Dang, I wish I remembered what it was. |
