Boeing’s X-32B, the Joint Strike Fighter contender that lost to Lockheed Martin’s X-35 (now the F-35), survives in just two museum airframes: one indoors at the USAF Museum and one outdoors at the Patuxent River Naval Air Museum, where weather is taking a toll.

Sad to see a stealth fighter look like this.

In aviation ... generally ... if it looks ‘wrong’, it usually IS wrong.
The X-32B “Monica” looks very wrong.

You can’t say that the all-angular F-117 doesn’t look “wrong”
To: whyilovetexas111
Museums , whether small town or larger entities usually don’t do well without sponsorship of some kind.
These planes need to be stored under cover, if not actually indoors. It’s not that expensive.
Boeing should be able to come up with a steel hanger for their planes in museums.

1: I said "generally" and "usually".
I don't see it as looking "wrong". Unusual, but not "wrong".

What is the longevity of “National Security Journal” ?
Seems to be a recent arrived mouthpiece for the MIC, now increasingly here.

Haven’t a clue - the ‘philosophy’ is the same as decades past, to the days of the “missile gap” - generate fear porn that the US is about to be overrun by other nations/commies/whatever.
Then showcase expensive toys that appeal to unthinking meatheads, that will ostensibly finally make us “safe”.

This blog is a very obvious Military Industrial Complex propaganda blog. It never saw a pork project it didn’t love

Easy to see how it got the name “Monica” much to the rage of liberals.
