Go to the guard shack and politely ask to be taken to the underground hangar under hangar 51 and see what they say.    :noid

The bike is an Orange County build.  It was commissioned by the Air Force Recruiting Service.  A friend, the AFRS operations officer at the time, began doing things like this in the last years of his career.  He also arranged for NASCAR sponsorships and they even sponsored a Monster Truck (Damon Bradshaw - Afterburner).

I am surprised and pleased to see the chopper at Dayton.  It represented a 'leap' in thinking when it was first built.
