Stealth Hawks

About 10 years ago I was visiting my sister in Las Vegas, Nevada.  We were sit'n around one morning discussing possible fun things to do that day.  Since I had already won my $32 million on the strip we decided to drive over to Nellis Air Force Base and watch the stealth bombers doing take-offs and landings. My brother-in-law explained to us that he has seen them a number of times and it was an awesome site. 

Off we went.  The drive was only about an hour and when we arrived it was a beautiful day for watching stealth planes come and go.  We sat in the car scanning the horizon as well as the runway.  We did this for about a half hour and then I figured it out.  We couldn't see the stealth bombers because they must have had their stealth mechanism turned on.  Of course.  Our government spent billions of dollars developing the stealth technology... they had to use it or it would have been a waste of money. 

So we sat there and enjoyed watching the stealth bombers take-off and land.  It was an exciting time.  Makes you proud to be an American I'll tell you.

This morning the birds were once again "spooked" and every last one of them took flight.  One second there were hundreds (yep really) of birds scarf'n down seeds and the next second they were gone. 

I knew there had to be a hawk around somewhere.  I grabbed my binoculars and searched the skies and trees.  Nothing.  Just like watching the stealth bombers take-off and land.

About a half hour later the birds started to return and within 10 minutes the circus had resumed like nothing had happened.

It must have been one of those stealth hawks....
