Every racetrack I’ve ever worked on had a group of neighbors that moved in after the track was built and still worked feverishly to get it shut down due to noise. Some people.

@Oriana0214 I’m really not sure what to make of this story quite yet (assuming it’s true, of course)
@Oriana0214 The only guess I can come up with is trying to limit Russian S-300/400 exposure to the F-22 so they’re not gathering data that could aid targeting in the future. Tin foil hat community posits they’re trying to convert them for use as stealth UCAVs and it was operational testing.
Gotta ask why? To test and see if it’s still viable to conduct missions like this? Unless you put in new specs in the F-117 and you were...trying something. Or, if the Russians were painting F-22s in the airspace and this was an alternative. Other than that, it’s a waste of $$$
If this is true, it's a holy sh*t story. sumo.ly/12pbZ via @fightersweep
