To paraphrase the movie no country for old men:

But if I loose it or complain then I'm the bad guy. So I smile and go with the flow, being the soft-spoken easy going person you've all grown to know and love

But it weren't all bad.
My wife's aunt and uncle are retired piled higher and deeper types who worked in aerospace. Mostly military.
She got her degrees in math but developed computer stuff back where there weren't much, and he was a physicist who developed radar things for the air force.
Good, nice people. Very entertaining to talk to iffn you can keep up.
They tolerate me but they love spending time with my son.

Hey remember when that f-117 got shot down over Kosovo in the 90's? it was in all the papers.
It was kind of a surprise 'cause the f-117 was supposed to be almost invisible.
Soon after they came out with the next generation stealth fighters that are waaaaay faster and maneuverable and retired the 117s.



On a completely unrelated note, they got this thing called DOPLER radar that can tell the direction of wind and/movement of moisture in the air.

With a little tinkering, dopler could be tuned to detect a stream of air going across the sky, kind of like a WAKE.
A wake that could be detected and tracked. With dopler.
