Hey, all you islamo-fascists...

COMING TO A (BATTLE) THEATER NEAR YOU!!!

[Mike Darancette]

I want one of them!

[FReepaholic]

So what happens when one of these things gets hit by lightning and takes on a mind of it's own and attacks us??

[Blueflag]

Can't wait til they qualify for night carrier landings, in the rain/snow. What's the LSO gonna do? lol

They look really cool with a tail hook.

I wonder how many you could fit on the hard points of a B-52??? Dale Brown has to love these things.

[Blueflag]

So you saw that bad movie too? ;-)

[subterfuge]

Is it flying backwards?

[Mr. Silverback]

Was it really all that bad?

[Jason Kauppinen]

You get the bomb of a movie "Stealth". :P

It'll fly to Hollywood and make a crappy movie?

They all have a destruct unit. This way, if any of them are going down, we can simply press the red button and it is gone, and cannot fall into enemy hands, or attack friendlies.

It's worth a rental in 6 mos. Don't pop for theater tickets. Even my 14 year-old son knew it was hokey. It's a fun adventure, but the technical flaws made it REALLY HARD for me.

I'd save your money til Blockbuster has it, then rent it.

They should test it on 80/94 in Indiana. I'll bet the trucks could destroy it in about 30 seconds. If it survived, it will survive anywhere else.

Post 4, better copyright that or someone may make a movie with that plot.

Cool! The newest generation of INU's (Islamikazi Neutralization Units!)

If you want on or off my aerospace ping list, please contact me by Freep mail not by posting to this thread.

Oh yeah, don't get me started on technical flaws in military aviation movies...I just about died laughing when I watched one of the Iron Eagle sequels just for the cool dogfight shots, and the Soviets show up in the ultra-hot super-dangerous "new MiG-32" or some such--F-4s with camo and hammer-and-sickle logos on the tail. Made the F-5 "MiGs" in Top Gun look like the real deal!

[wolfcreek]

I think there's a movie out currently about jets that take on a mind of their own except the planes have real pilots onboard.the name escapes me

[conservativecorner]

And the little rascals are stealthy to boot.

It was kind of hard to get Soviet MiGs back in the day, so they had to either grab second-line equipment or allied aircraft like the Mirages used in the first Iron Eagle.
