THE SOUNDS OF FREEDOM.

I understand the value of stealth technology.  "It probably defeats the purpose of having a stealthy drone to make it sound like a B-17 or a formation of Mustangs."

Sometimes, though, you want the sound.


And if you don't see it coming and then you hear it?
No, the Milwaukee Brewers were not softening up the opposition with shock and awe.  The latest generation of performance fighters have the capability to loosen windows even without going to 'burners.

Or perhaps you're welcoming a foreign leader to territory once part of his empire that your country bought fair and square in the 1860s.
"You can see it, Vladimir Vladimirovich, but your radar can't."  It's enough stagecraft to impress the Trump-skeptical Jonathan Karl.
President Trump "does...know stagecraft. That was a made-for-television moment seeing him walk down one red carpet greeting Putin, walking down another red carpet, and then getting in to the presidential limo...He sees this is -- he has brought the Russian president to American soil. This is a home game for Donald Trump. He has brought him to -- to American land. He has done that flyover of the B-2 bomber, just like the B-2 bombers that took out the -- the air campaign against the Iranian nuclear facility, twalking by American firepower, and getting into the -- the most sensitive personal vehicle in America, the presidential limousine."
A number of the other recent stealth fighters were parked along the apron where the meeting took place.
