    I've always wondered when the B-2 drops its bombs, if the Bombs give enough of a radar return to show up on radar
    Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

      By then it's too late to help since the drop is from miles away from the tartget, takes seconds and they evade right after.

      The F-117 did the same maneuver.
