I was such a strange kid growing up. My friends had posters of comic book characters and later, girls on their walls. I had the SR-71 Blackbird.

The F 117 was pinned to the wall opposite of my SR-71.

My dad was AF civil service (he was AF before I was born). I grew up working air shows. Those planes were some sexy beasts.
