When these dogs get into service, every other country in the world - you are behind, dudes. This bird will kick your best in the hinie and not break a sweat.
WOW thanks for the pictures...
I drive under these heading toward their landing in Fort Worth..on their test flights..
The flight path for Lockheed Martin's jets takes them right over my daughter's house...makes it shake a LOT.
Looks fun.
But I still suspect it was very outdated BEFORE it was even very many drawings.
But I guess we have to have something to fool clueless idiots with.
Besides, maybe the powers that be don't want us using out best equipment for our protection vs reserving them for the protection and setting up of the global government.
BTW, what's the latest on the Aurora? Which is probably ALSO out of date already.
Many moons ago I was in a Lockheed Skunk building. Unclassified of course with an escort who had a police emergency light spinning and a big 'Shut up. Stooges Present.' sign. Walked past an emergency door with the following sign on it.
'Use of this emergency exit during a non-emergency will result in the termination of the employee.'
That is when you realize, whoa. These guys is serious. Although I never experienced it, had heard stories about computer field engineers who had been handcuffed into a wheel chair. Blindfolded. And then manually taken to the broke puter. Never figured out if those stories were BS or real.
Something else you might want to see.
Just Beautiful!
Check out the markings on the engine nacelle.
