MB - news.excite.com "...LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. pilots flew 30-hour missions during the Kosovo conflict thanks to power naps taken in garden chairs wedged into the cockpits of their stealth bombers, a London-based defense magazine said Wednesday..." "...The chairs, which cost $8.88 from the supermarket chain Wal-Mart, proved an invaluable addition to the B-2 Spirits, which at $1 billion each are the most expensive bombers in the world..." WMT being added to the Defense Sector, being probed by the GAO for procurement irregularities. The radar cross-section of the B-2/lawn chair combination was increased by 10X over the B-2 alone, but the enemy smart AA radar was programmed to reject target lock on lawn chairs to prevent wasting missiles on American and British eccentrics passing over in balloons.
