I am a Security Director and this is a picture (see attached file) I took of one of my babies the other day on the flightline, the F-117 Stealth Fighter. Reading early automotive magazines, this is supposedly where the CTS got its "radical cuts" from. I see this baby everyday, and believe it, it looks like a CTS with wings. Its got a "bomb" flat screen and a Monster Navigation System. GM and CTS owners can only wish on the unlimited horse power, but we will settle with minor upgrades for now, the rest of the farm will come later.

What base? New mexico right ?

Got an occasional gander at these beauties at eielson ,i though the stealth Bomber was even more impressive in person tho , the f117 left me thinking "boy that thing is small" whereas the bomber left me in utter awe

I always said that Cadillac should do a commercial where there is a guy in a F117 talking to radio command and he is returning from a mission. He then while landing the craft receives a message that his wife said for him to bring home dinner and the camera will move to an out side shot and it will be a CTS-V breaking on a landing strip. It will come to a stop with a stream of smoke behind him. The announcer will then say “The 400 HP 2005 Cadillac CTS-V.....Break Through!" Then the car will break off in a burn out. I just think that would be so cool.

I was at a NASCAR Race in Charlotte, NC a while back. Every race they do fly-bys with various aircraft. I've been to a lot of races and seen a lot of Airforce Jets. That was the weekend Pres. Bush announced the invasion of Afganistan and it was up on the big track screen showing the President. Just then the track got buzzed by a low flying Stealth :bighead: The pilot turned the jet and buzzed the track again! Only the Stealth could make such an impact. Something I'll never forget. And to tie it back to my black CTS I can see some similarities :)
