BOX MONKEY.............Wow

BOX MONKEY.............Wow a piece of Aerospace trivia that I thought NO one would have the slightest clue about...I work for Northrop on the B2 at Edwards Air Force Base during the time of the Yf22 and yf23 R&D projects...I even saw the Yf22 (Rapture) land on its belly cuz the landing gear would'nt deploy...We at Northrop were all incredible amazed when the air force choose the YF22 instead of the YF23, the offical word from management was, that Northrop had many projects in R&D and in production for the Air force! So they gave it to Lockheed cuz they had nothing. Yet I agree (based on the data) the yf23 was the superior of the two planes...But if the Rapture can inspire such a Beautiful Camaro...Thank God the Air force decided to go with it...Karma can be a beautiful thing!

BTW..thats me in the pic...ANd dont ask what we were doing...Id have to shoot ya, if I told ya
