I have tons of pictures that I could upload to p-bucket. They're all hi-res so it might take all night... While I was in the x-plane hanger, I was lucky enough to be able to crawl up under the F-22 prototype and take detailed pictures of all the wiring and plumbing under the landing gear bay. If you think your MB vacuum system is complex, you should get a load of that!

The Valkyrie -- that was a neat plane! The escape capsule always fascinated me.
Did they have a B-2 in the X-plane hangar? I got to tour one while on Guam; we were allowed to crawl all over, under, and in it, and take pics of anything but the rear end. They're quite proud of the exhaust area.
