B2 Boys

Ok so this was probably the coolest thing that I have ever done, and I would think my brothers feel the same way. Getting the opportunity to not only see, but get up close and personal with one of the most closely guarded pieces of technology that the United States has ever produced.

We took pictures but this is all that came out.


I must admit I was even impressed with the stealth cloaking technology.






Just playing

You know the feeling you get when you walk into a room with a really powerful person that just commands respect from their sheer essence.

This was kind of like that except it made you want to pee from seeing it.



Major Cochran was an awesome tour guide and there is no way we can thank him enough, he answered most of our questions. All of the ones he was allowed to at least.



We got to go into the cockpit and sit behind the stick. We learned that it is a little cramped in there especially if you have to be in there for 24 hours straight. We obviously weren't allowed to bring cameras into the cock pit or simulator, but those images are going to be burned in our minds forever.

We flew the simulator and we learned that Jason and Jon will in all likelihood kill us if we ever try to land the plane. Shawn and I are screwed if we ever try to refuel mid-air. Dad.... well Dad almost flew us into an F-16 and then we just couldn't figure out where the heck we were.

This is probably one of the coolest pictures we got.
