For those that wondered how I did it, here ya go:
It was a model of an F-117 that I hung with thin 2 pound fishing line from a board tied to the roof-rack of my car. The parabolic mirror helped with the illusion to make it look farther away than it really was, and made it impossible to see the fishing line. It really was only about 3 feet or so away from the mirror.
I used black electrical tape to tape the fishing line to the model so that it would blend in to the model and using 2 lines I was able to keep it from twirling around and keep it (sort of) parallel to the car.
The highway that this is on was busy that time of morning, so I had to park right next to the sign which didn't give me many composition options, and I had to hold the camera low inside the car and just shoot without being able to see in the viewfinder to get everything in view. A lot of trial and error.Message edited by author 2005-12-12 12:45:19.

I gave you a nine. I thought the plane was real. I probably would of gave you a 7 anyways..great imagination and good composition.

Cool with the aircraft in the rear mirror! But I have no idea what the roadsign is supposed to mean?

Nahhh. C'mon, 'fess up. This couldn't be the real thing. But it's an idea worth a 7 anyway.

I find this picuture suspect! Could someone really compose this type of picture with stealth fighter in the rearview mirror? Assuming could, a great story with a sign.

Wonderfully bright. Is that really a stealth 'plane in the mirror or is it a set-up? If it's the former, then this is a brilliant capture. If it's the latter, it's a brilliant set-up.

Oh I am gonna love reading the 'making of' for this one.. I assume that it is a legit shot... I wanna know where the f117-a came from...

I like this. I'm just curious what that thing is next to the plane in the mirror. The composition could have been a little better, but the capturing of the plane makes up for it.

Cool shot, the only things that would make it better for me if there were no power lines and if the Stealth Bomber were in the main view instead of the mirror. Great timing though!

Wonderful image as far as the sign and the mirror go, capturing a stealth plabe can't be asy, great "content", distracting damned wires and pole...
