The F-117 was kept under pretty tight wraps at first too.

The guys who aren't in the know can speculate, but the guys who do know can't comment.

Let's just assume for a minute that we don't actually have a stealth helicopter. Is there any value in letting the world think that we have one? Hmmm.....

I assume that fire that's in that video of the compound after the assult is the helicopter burning. If you look close enough, you can see the tail and rotor sticking up in the frame. You gotta look hard for that shape.

Agree. Lets just stop, maybe it is better that way. Stealth...maybe it is just looking from a different point of view. I don't see the Seal team...Helo...spec ops dog...
