"Gen Flynn: Be very careful chasing shiny objects…just when you least expect, you’ll get punched so hard in the nose, you’ll not recover."

"the aircraft nose’s official name – the radome (radar + dome = radome). The radome is a spherical plastic cap that opens up and serves as the weatherproof housing for some important equipment – the radar antenna, sometimes called the dish antenna – a sensitive plate that transmits and receives radio waves. The nose is made of smart material that blocks external weather influences but allows electromagnetic radiation to pass through."
