Loaded with stealth aircraft; you can hardly see them.
 
Niiice, as Onslow would have said.
 
 
Did you notice Wonder Woman's plane in the back left corner - It is on loan.

An invisible airplane? That’s an outlandish idea. Honestly, I can’t see it taking off.

Back in the day, when I was an LT in the AF and assigned to the Radar Evaluation Squadron, one of my friends would always go TDY for long periods of time, but no-one, not even his wife, knew where he was going nor what he was doing. Years later, when the plane's existence was declassified, I learned that what he had been doing on all those trips was conducting radar cross section testing on the F-117 Stealth Fighter, which for all practical purposes is invisible to radar. (Nothing is 100% invisible, but this plane comes pretty darn close)

 
"The airplane is aerodynamically unstable" :eek:
As long the systems are working if flies like a regular plane... I wonder how hard it would be to fly with the systems disabled?

Not very well as I understand it.
