I'm sitting here in Columbus, OH (free wireless!) waiting for my delayed flight to Chicago and then home in Portland.

C-5 Galaxy Photo

So, I'm looking out the window and lo and behold there's a C-5 Galaxy on the runway getting ready to take off.  There's a business-exec looking guy on a cell phone near me looking out the window, and he notices the plane too (hard to miss).  This is what I hear him say:

There's some sort of military plane here getting ready to take off.  I don't know what kind it is... but it looks sort of stealthy.

Hmmm.  Stealthy.  C-5.  Sure...

Stealthy...as in "Hide in plain sight."

Doei!

That's funny. I finished my private pilot and the airport I fly out of is in direct line with Omaha Eppley and Offutt and every once in awhile - actually, every time I fly, there seems to be a KC135 on approach into Offutt - I am grateful that they are not that "stealthy". Thanks for the link to the AF site too.
