Hombre; are you being funny? Messing with my old head? A stealth bomber ( or fighter ) is not invisible to the naked eye; only to electronic detection.

Thanks Hombre; it was one of the best performances I've ever seen by an airplane. That bomber came in as if landing, then shot straight up like a giant invisible sling shot just sent it into the air! Flames coming out the engines, and it was almost out of sight in no time flat! Breath taking. Hat's off to all our military men and women! God Bless them! ( And our veterans too! )

@ArkansasYanke. It had to be a B1 (AKA Lawn Dart) that you saw. A B2 is a stealth bomber and therefore you wouldn't have seen it.

Couldn't get me in a plane again. Like my feet on the ground or in a boat/ship. Love watching them though. Airshow can't suck that much considering the number of people that go see it when it comes to town. An Airman friend of mine took me out there one evening many years ago. Walked around with a cold one, and looked at the aircraft. Can't remember if it was a B-1 or B-2; but it put on quite a show just before sunset. My hero's wear uniforms; regardless of branch; but GO ARMY!

If it weren't for Fat Albert the air show would really suck. Again the Marines save the day. For a itinerary of events see: http://www.littlerockairshow.com/

Can someone in the news tell us what time the show starts?
