It doesn't matter what color the ones you can see are.  [tinfoil]

Grey black ish. I don't think I'm giving away state secrets if I stated the airframes are Sikorsky, and the stealth stuff added by the people who make pretty much every other stealth aircraft.

Looked bigger when I couldn't see 'im.

I'm pretty sure that like me, Bryan just let's it be water off a duck's back. S... I make jokes about Fed employees as much as the next guy, if not more.

Pretty much.  Although I'm a state employee, not a Fed.   Yeah, I make the same sort of jokes, and I get pissed to no end when I see people living up to the stereotype the general public has about us.  I know plenty of people who come in and do a great job every day, and they get lumped in with the garbage.

That's because .gov hiring practices use the 10% method:  10% of the employees will do 90% of the work.  The other 90% of the employees not only live up to, but actually create the stereotypes.  The 10% are decent people, doing the job to the best of their ability, and end up having to suffer the slings and arrows of public perception.
