Both of the B-2s are here at Edwards AFB. They are _not_ operational and will not be deployed. Perhaps you meant the F-117A, which is indeed in the area. I think they might be in Turkey, but am not certain. -- Mary Shafer shafer@skipper.dfrf.nasa.gov ames!skipper.dfrf.nasa.gov!shafer NASA Ames Dryden Flight Research Facility, Edwards, CA Of course I don't speak for NASA "A MiG at your six is better than no MiG at all"--Unknown US fighter pilot
