response to video comments and code blue update

so i'm glad that people enjoyed the video i posted and i wish to take some time to respond to some of the comments left. the skunk seen in one of the first scenes was a logo on the tail fin of the plane because it was manufactured by the Lockheed Skunkworks, which, according to this article, is the official alias for lockheed's advanced development programs. the skunk works was responsible for such aircraft as the sr-71, u-2, f-117, and f-22. the sr-71, although not fully stealth, was designed in such a way to reduce its radar signature. the two most well known stealth planes are the stealth fighter (f-117) and the stealth bomber (b-2) both of these planes have full stealth capablities, as well as the recent f-22 raptor. the use of sharp angles and/or smooth curves was to refract the radar signal in direction other than the one it came so as to reduce the size it appears on radar. fully stealth aircraft also have special skin that absorbs the radar and at the same time reduces it's heat signature to make it almost invisible. you can follow the link to learn more and see a list of all the aircraft that have been made or are under development that have stealth characteristics. the song is "learning to fly" by pink floyd.

about code blue. when i first conceived the dialogue, i had no intention of going any further with it. but chris' critique was so positive, plus the fact he said he was excited for the next installment, made me think that maybe i could carry it forward. so the last couple mornings at work i had been ruminating about the story and where it could go from there and i have taken lots of notes on ideas and plot lines i could follow so be excited for the next installment of code blue.
