How Much For The Stealth Bomber in the Window?

Caleb McDaniel passes along this fantastic Google Maps photo. Many nerds...died...to bring us this information.

Meanwhile, Nancy Nall alerts us to Sen. Evan Bayh's Flickr account.

Cool photo but..

Is this really a big deal, in a security sense? I think it is well known which bases house stealth bombers and fighters. When we lived in Newport News VA, we routinely saw the stealth fighters based at Langley AFB flying about. (You kind of expected them to look like Wonder Woman's plane from the old comic books--just a dashed outline. In that sense they were a dissapointment.)

Besides, maybe it's just a Potemkin stealth bomber!

I guess it will save a trip to the USAF museum in Dayton, Ohio where there is one on display.

If you click "US Airforce Plant 42" on the sidebar, there's a U2 and a couple of SR-71's northwest of the orange pointer.

I've seen the Blackbird in person at the air museum in Warner Robins, Georgia. I want one.
