    Oh shit, yeah, is that a B-1?

    You actually could make a microwave that’s stealth-friendly, if you got it shielded enough. I wonder if that’s been considered, or even done.

    Edit: Yes, on the B-2.

      Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s a bone. The f111 looking nose combined with the girthmaster deluxe front landing gear are the tells in this picture.

      As it turns out, aircrew need to be able to eat shit and sleep onboard if you want significant loiter capabilities. That was my favorite part of aircrew banter; eagle crews escorting bones liked to show off how fast and agile their jets are, and the bone crew would show off by flying straight and level for a bit while they heated up their lunch then shit in a toilet instead of a diaper
