Sweet!! In 95-96 my father was helping me move into a rental in Corona. While off loading the sound on a distinct WW II twin engine sound was audible. Looking up we saw a winged aircraft high speed towards Lake Mathews. 15 minutes later it was headed back towards Chino. It was a cloudy day so it looked black from our vantage. It was one hell of a fast mover too. Took me 12-15 months of looking for it before Chino announced the had completed the restoration of the only Northrop Flying Wing. It must of been on one of the initial test flights. A rather cool father and son moment.
