Does it look a bit like an A4 Skyhawk?
Looks like an A4 to me.
Manned flight for fighter and bomber operations are rapidly becoming obsolete.
I read that the new TX version being offered by Lockheed looks just like a T-38.
We are wasting money on an airframe that is no different from a 1960 version. Just keep the dang T-38 a few more years.
The colored smoke is gay for a military product. They didn’t do this in the 50s and 60s.
I can see lots of current thought and tech being used here and there, but the overall aircraft is unique and appears to be very functional.
Is it going to be carrier capable, too, someday? It kinda has that look about it.
