I saw one take off from Dobbins AFRB (Marietta, GA.) with a F-16 chase several yrs. ago. The end of the runway there is pretty close to a major 4-lane road. Several bizs. with parking lots you can plane watch from. The thing that surprised was how much larger the stealth plane was to the F-16. It might have been the F-22 doing flight test from Lockheed. They make them now to be a bomber/fighter combo. Maybe that is why it was so much larger over the dedicated fighter role of the F-16?
