The “F-47” — LOLOL. Did we skip over the “F-45”?

President Trump is a GENIUS as well as a Master Troll!

Oh great, their track record is pretty bad. Starliner? New Air Force One delays, and the passenger jet issues. Maybe Elon can advise them.

If it’s already been flying for 4-5 years I think it will be fine.

“...it will be the most advanced, most capable, most lethal aircraft ever built. This is a $20 billion dollar contract, which unfortunately means we’ll only be able to buy two, but they will be the two most awesomest airplanes you ever saw!”

Why an opaque blurry picture? If it’s an announcement... roll it out or show the photo. If it’s secret, why the announcement at all?

These airplane reveals all look like they are are orchestrated by women, gays and interior decorators now.

Or the 10 years behind schedule tanker replacement Boeing KC-46.

Not very elegant like the Hornet, Eagle, Tomcat or Raptor; looks like a horseshoe crab from that angle. That is the best pic they could release?

how about building millions of drones! a swarm of drones wouldn’t even need to be armed to take down a jet. Simply flying them into the flight path of a jet would destroy it just like birds.
