Preview thumbnail for Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit at USAF Plant 42. Most of the plane seems to be missing its outer coating, with only a section near the cockpit having the characteristic black surface. The second image is zoomed out to see discolored concrete shaped like a B-2 nearby—links in the comments. image

Preview thumbnail for the SR 71 not weird but whats weird about it is that due to the way it was made when it was cold it was constantly leaking fuel. The fuel tanks where built into the air frame directly and due to having to deal with high temps when it was cold the metal contracted and the fuel just leaked out. image
