$16,000,000,000 in one place at one time. Expensive photo. Hard to think of a more expensive photo outside Cape Canaveral, FL.

I pray the Commander-and-Chief does not drop the nuclear football that is with him at all times.

I like to watch the Air Disasters show on the Dish Network Smithsonian channel and remember one of these planes crashing on takeoff. I remember thinking how much money went up in smoke. I believe the crew survived. A lot of money is spent on crew training. The crash was in Feb 2008 at Anderson AFB in Guam. The problem with today's aircraft is that if anything computer related goes wrong, the pilots often are helpless. The F-117 is called the "Wobbling Goblin" because without constant computer corrections the bird is almost impossible to fly correctly.
