A friend of mine in New Zealand, professes to be
trying to fart negative "stink radicals" (A.K.A.
negative farticles, in the common press).  His theory
is that if he can fart negative stink radicals he can,
with proper balance, negate the smell of positive
radicals - just by taking a dump!  Then again, who
knows what kind of energy might be released when the
two farticles annihilate one another?!  Could this be
the source of 'dark matter'?
I love science.

One hot summer afternoon, while der Frau and I

were lounging by the

pool, we saw a B-2 Stelth Bomber fly over our

humble adobe in the

foothills of Tucson, making an approach to DMAFB.

I thought that

either she had spiked my frosty salty dog, or  I

was at a Greatful

Ahh, that's what I recall. If I remember

correctly, this thing

ejected
pilots downward - or am I confusing it with

something else?

DOUG
Yeah, F104 - the widow maker. Some one quipped if

you want an F104,

buy
an
acre of land in Germany. Guess these were NATO

fighters.

On a flight for GE to get promo pics, an F104

got too close to a

wing on
the XB and the vortex sucked it over.
The F104 did an inverted roll over top of both

rear stabilizers and

vaporized (due to JP4 fuel instability?). The

104 pilot, Joe

Walker was
killed instantly...too bad. He was an

experienced pilot.

The XB continued to fly flat for 16 secs and

then started a spin

until it
crashed. One pilot got killed, the other ejected

out.

That's all I can remember...maybe someone can

look up the details.

The specs and photos of the Talon remind me of

the old XB-70 from

the
60's...remember that thing? I don't since I

wasn't born, but it

seemed
as
if it was an interesting vehicle.
I'd like to check it out at Wright Pat one of

FA-37 Talon Military Aircraft Stealth Jet

Secret Weapons

Making the rounds to an Email box near you! I

just got it and found

out that this has been circulating for some

time. Below are

photographs of a prototype aircraft known as

the Talon.

Reportedly it
was taken onboard the USS George Washington

CVN-73 for catapult fit

checks. It noted that it was not exactly still

Top Secret but

certainly not yet made public.
The specs that were known were list to be a

Mach 3.5 (top speed

in the
Mach 4 range), super-cruise stealth fighter /

bomber / interceptor

with approximately a 4,000nm range.

:: :: :: :: :: :: :: ::

At first I fell for it too, but after checking

around this wasn’t

the
case. I seldom believe anything on the internet

for face value and

have to do a lot of checking around to verify

facts and then draw

my
own conclusion. Blogs are unfortunately known

to be operated by

nuts
(maybe me too!).
These photographs are not images of a prototype

F/A-37 “Talon”

aircraft being tested aboard the aircraft

carrier USS George

Washington, but pictures taken from the filming

of the motion

picture
Stealth (which wasn’t that good and had

numerous incorrect

features).
Although these pictures come from a fictional

movie, they were

taken
aboard a real U.S. aircraft carrier, the USS

Abraham Lincoln, which

was used for filming while the vessel was at

San Diego’s Naval Air

Station North Island in June 2004.
USS Abraham Public Affairs Press Release
Fighter jets chocked and chained to the deck,

Sailors scurrying

from
place to place, the occasional whirr of rising

aircraft elevators,

this could be a hangar bay of any aircraft

carrier. In fact, the

repetitious scene often causes shipmates to

become oblivious to

their
overwhelming surroundings.
But last week something happened aboard USS

Abraham Lincoln (CVN

72)
that made every Sailor stand up and take notice

throughout the

ship.
Departing Naval Air Station North Island after

an all too brief

stop-
over, Lincoln welcomed aboard more than 80 new

faces, a 53-foot

long
futuristic stealth fighter named “Talon,” and

the Navy’s top three

“special operations pilots.”
No, this was not a top-secret Navy experiment;

rather it was the

cast
and crew of the upcoming major motion picture,

“Stealth.” The new

addition to Abe’s crew came aboard courtesy of

Columbia Pictures

and
Backbreaker Films, and features Josh Lucas,

Jessica Biel, Jamie

Foxx
and Pulitzer Prize-winner Sam Shepard.

The film is scheduled to be released in the

summer of 2005, and is

directed by Rob Cohen, who also directed the

films “XXX,” and “The

Fast and The Furious.” He said “Stealth” is on

a different level

than
his past work.
“Filming a major Hollywood movie during flight

(operations) is a

very
tricky and different thing,” said Cohen. “This

is real life out

here,
and it’s amazing that the Navy is allowing us

to be here and

bring our
own aircraft on the ship.”
Cohen also acknowledged the Navy for allowing

the current movie

to see
the light of day. “I’m very grateful to the

Navy for this. The Navy

passed every page of the script, so they feel

good about it, and I

feel good about what this film will say about

the Navy.”

In the film, Navy officials decide to use an

unmanned version of

the
“Talon,” but when one of the planes begins

attacking friendly

forces,
Navy pilots are called in to save the planet

from artificial

intelligence.
Although the plot may sound far-fetched to

some, Cohen found out

first
hand that filming aboard Lincoln is very real.
“I have a deeper appreciation for what (the

crew) does on the

Lincoln,” Cohen said. After spending his first

night aboard the

warship, Cohen had a startling experience that

awoke him from a

sound
sleep. “They primed the catapults about 2:00 in

the morning, and I

thought, ‘Oh my God, we’ve been torpedoed!’ I

jumped so high out

of my
bunk that I hit my head on the shelf.”
Adjusting to life on the 97,000-ton carrier

also proved to be

difficult for some of the cast.
“I’ve been lost every day,” actress Jessica

Biel said. “I still

can’t
get to my room. I have to ask people all of the

time just to help

me
find the bathroom, but it’s been incredible how

helpful everyone

has
been.”
Biel, who plays Lt. Kara Wade, the only female

pilot in the stealth

squadron, also expressed her appreciation for

the hard work of

Abe’s
crew. “You really have no idea how hard

everybody works until you

come
on to a carrier,” Biel said. “The teamwork on

this ship is

absolutely
amazing.”
Teamwork seemed to be the word of the week, as

both the movie and

ship’s crews worked together to complete the

ship’s mission and

lend a
hand in the production.
Abe Sailors were given numerous opportunities

throughout the week

to
be extras in the film, and share the spotlight

with the Hollywood

lineup. Donning float coats and cranials, the

Sailors, producers

and
actors looked alike on the flight deck as the

cameras rolled.

“In my 16 years in the Navy, this is one of the

top things I’ve

done,”
said AO1(AW) Anthony Whetstone, of Abe’s Safety

Department.

Whetstone, an Alexander City, Ala. native, was

an extra with a

speaking role during one of the production’s

night scenes, and was

grateful to have such an opportunity. “Nothing

like this has ever

happened to me before.”
Actor Jamie Foxx, who plays the role of Lt.

Henry Purcell, said

Abe’s
crew was a big help during the filming and

commented on their hard

work. “This really changes your perspective on

things, when you

get a
chance to see from the ground up how hard these

men and women

work,”
he said.
“The crew was really down to Earth,” Whetstone

said.

“I was surprised to find out that they were

just like us.”

Whetstone’s
thoughts seemed to be echoed by Abe’s crew

throughout the week.

Meanwhile, the film crew couldn’t seem to give

enough praise to

Lincoln Sailors.
“Thank God for these decent people that are on

this ship doing

the job
they do,” Cohen said. “I have a deep

appreciation for Sailors and

what
(they) do for people like me who live in the

freedom you secure.”
