The Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk was a wonder of the aviation world when it first appeared at air shows and exhibitions in 1989. Looking like something that Darth Vader might fly in a STAR WARS movie, the Nighthawk was the first warplane designed with signiture reduction ("stealth") at the core of its design. At the time, the Nighthawk was a generation ahead of any other aircraft or defensive system of its era. During its three decades of service, the F-117A flew combat missions during numerous air campaigns from Panama to the Persian Gulf. And for the dozens of books and hundreds of magazine articles, there have been surprisingly few actual accounts of what it was like to fly the Nighthawk into combat. That has changed however, with the publication by Zenith Press (@Zenith_Press) of STEALTH FIGHTER: A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF AN F-117 PILOT. So join military historian, author and journalist John D. Gresham for Military Monday (#MilitaryMonday on the WriteStream Radio Network (#Writestream)) at 1 p.m. Eastern today

Few nations in the world today remain more misunderstood and enigmatic than Pakistan. A seemingly artificial creation of the 1947 partition with India following the dissolution of the subcontinent from the British Empire, Pakistan has become one of the great international security challenges of the early 21st century. A seemingly Third World nation, Pakistan has one of the largest standing military forces in the world today and is armed with nuclear weapons. A nation with multiple ethnic/tribal groups, the Pakistani government tries to portray the nation as a purely Islamic Republic. And though it has partnered itself with numerous other nations since the partition, including the United States and the People's Republic of China, Pakistan remains a country with no real allies or even shared interests. And guiding this seemingly enigmatic nation into the 21st century is the single institution that has dominated Pakistani politics and society since the partition: the Pakistani Army.

Just Believe welcomes, The Queen! The following is her story: The Queen is Clairvoyant, a Tarot Reader, Dream Interpreter and Life Coach with 35 years experience as a full time, professional psychic. I got nicknamed The Queen because I used to promenade down the street all dressed up around age 20, and sometimes just for fun I’d put on a tiara to make myself feel good, and they’d laugh good humoredly so it stuck. When I started doing readings, people would say, “How do you know that?” and I’d say, “its Majik!” Being psychic comes naturally to me. My Mom and Grandmother were both psychics, but it was my Aunt took me under her wing at 12 and helped me work with my gifts and honor them, and before I knew it I was out in the world using my skills to help others. I loved it then, and I

Do ghosts truly exist? Is paranormal phenomena for real? Are historical places worldwide actually haunted? Find out on Tuesday, October 21 at a special time of 4 p.m. Eastern when Dariaanne interviews Diane Student, award-winning internet radio host and founder of the new blog/podcast, History Goes Bump.  About the History Goes Bump website: This website is dedicated to history, both of America and the world in general, with a slight twist.  These histories go bump in the night.  Ghost tales and paranormal experiences are fun around the campfire, but to get to the heart of true hauntings, one must know the history.  It is the history that gives the spirits life.

Synergy is when the confluence of people, events, and places combine to create extraordinary things and results. And in the history of the U.S. Army, there is no greater example of synergy than the West Point Class of 1915. Known as, "The Class the Stars Fell On," the class of 1915 produced 59 general officers and a President of the United States out of just 164 graduates. Graduating just as America was becoming involved in World War I, the class of 1915 showed its talents and metal early, and also suffered the first of a number of combat casualties. And while most of the class languished through much of the interwar period as field grade staff officers, the coming of World War II made them into the leaders that won the greatest conflict in history. These included general's like Dwight D. Eisenhower, Omar Bradley, James Van Fleet, and Joseph McNarney. And when World War II ended, the class of 1915 became the Army leaders that led America into the Cold War, and Korea. Never before in the history of West Point
