I can identify every aircraft except one. It looks like there are two F-117s on each side. One appears to be smaller than the other. I thought perhaps one silhouette was Have Blue and the other was the F-117. Then I realized that there should be A-12's plus the SR-71 that is there if Have Blue was going to be represented. Any one have some other ideas.......Is there another F-117 look-a-like out there that we don't know about? Also the Navalized F117 had a different canopy for better vision. What is preventing Lockheed from upgrading the present F-117 canopy a la P-51's.

I expect they left out the A-12 because that would have made for two identical-looking Blackbird silhouettes right next to each other. > Also the Navalized F117 had a different canopy for better vision. > What is preventing Lockheed from upgrading the present F-117 > canopy a la P-51's. I'm sure they would if the AF wanted to pay for it. :) ------------------------------ From: hartmark@pwfl.com Date: Thu, 26 Oct 95 09:25:25 EDT Subject: NO SUBJECT From: MARK L.
