I was hoping to see Catherine Zeta Jones dressed up as Wonder Woman, in her invisible jet !

Ah hah... see even you were fooled by Litton's Atmospheric Sensor Simulator Holographic Optimal Laser Emmiter System.

The jets are actually 3 kilometres North of those simulated vortex trails in a roughly parellel track. Nifty way to fool the gunners using optical sighting systems.

A few years ago, I saw (or didn't see) a model ot a Klingon 'Bird of Prey' cloaked.
The stand was there, but nothing else! I thought it was funny, but I've got a sick sense of humour!

There was one like that at Wonderfest last year, but the modeler had added the indentations in the ground (complete with flattened trash can) and a boarding ramp with little figures of the crew descending...

Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...

Bit like the wind up at Farnborough dureing the 80's before the F-117 was revealed, The show ground crew kept a space on the flight line, with a crew ladder, and power carts placed around 3 sets of chocks set up as if there was an aircraft parked there, with a placard reading F-19 stealth fighter and a few so called tech details. Kind of appealed to my sence of humor
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.
