Not So Stealthy

[Stretch]

My Brother Mark was a C-130E navigator with 37 Squadron on his first overseas trip. The herc's first stop was a USAF base near Los Angeles. The name of the base escapes me but it was around the time of the release of the F-117 stealth fighter. The Aussie boys with their Larrikin sense of humour were on finals getting last minute info from the tower when the captain of the herc said, "Tower, is that a F-117 stealth on the apron?" The reply from the Tower was affirmative, the herc captain said "oh good, I thought we picked up something on our radar".
The tone from the tower was pretty cold. I can always picture it in my head - only an Australian would think of it.
