New F-35B fighter plane

Bone Yard for scrapped planes in Arizona


I have wanted to see a Stealth air plane since I first seen a picture of one.
It took many years to see one because there are none around where we live.
But last year we went on a Stealth hunt to Alamogordo, New Mexico.
They are so illusive that it is hard to see one.
By their design they are hard to see in the air.
I was so thrilled to see one even if it was a long distance away.
I could not believe the government was moth balling them.
Last March six F-117A Nighthawk fighters took off from Holloman Air Force Base and made their last landing at Tonopah Test Range in the remote northwest corner of Nevada’s Nellis Air Force Base.
Their wings removed, the stealth will be stored in secure hangers there rather than in the customary open-space aircraft graveyard in Tucson, Arizonian.

Now what will take the place of this great marvel of technology?
Fresh of the assembly line, the leapfrogging stealthy F-35B fighter jet prepares for lift off.
The worlds most advanced fighter jet the F-35B lightning 11.
Lockheed Martins 40,000 pound thrust engine, the most powerful engine ever built for a fighter jet.
Soaring at speeds of 1,000 MPH it defects radar signals and with the ability to stop in med-flight and touch down vertically. Requires only a short takeoff of less than 500 feet.
A price tag of $300 BILLION, for the project, the F-35B fighter’s should be in service by 2012.
A precisely shaped body deflects enemy radar signals away from the aircraft much like the Stealth did.
I can hardly wait to see one and hope it wont take as long as getting to see the Stealth did.

Senior Humor

We all get heavier as we get to be seniors.
I have always wondered why that is.
Did you?
It is because there is a lot, more information in our heads.
So I am not fat.
I am just really intelligent and, my head can’t hold any more information,
So it started filling up the rest of me.
That’s my story and I am sticking to it.

The White Sands National Monument is where the space program began.
It played a key role in developing the rocket and technology in the US Space Program.

Space Shuttle Landing

Ever wonder how they get the space shuttle back to NASA?




The White Sands Missile test range and Holloman AFB remain key players today.
The White Sands today is a back up landing spot for the space shuttle and has even been used several times in the past.

Space Museum

The Space Museum in Alamogordo is a major attraction.
Visitors start the tour on the fourth floor and work your way down the floors on a winding ramp.

Landing the Space Shuttle

The space shuttle landing simulator is the most popular attraction of the museum. It allows you to try to land the shuttle your self.
Of course we all tried it. I kept crashing so I was not allowed to fly any more. Oh well, I never wanted to go to space anyway.
After you have been to the White Sands National monument and the museum, there is an I-Max.
