Right: but "LT KABA WADE" was used on this movie set.

Mmmmmm. Jessica Biel.Nothing "stealthy" about her. Her shape is certainly (mens) radar detectable. Her mugs nice to look at, too.

I think it would be a stitch if Registered could edit the plane out of these photos. Actually, that's what I was kind of expecting to see.
Shalom.

Check it out. While the plane looks a bit too "Hollywood" (and I won't even get into the pilot issue), this could actually be a cool movie.
Some of the posts are funny, too.

That would be a cool plane. Grumman already showed that forward swept wings can give excellent maneuverability with the X-29A.

One of the reason Japan is so far ahead of us in making humanoid robots is Americans are to busy being scared of the idea. It's that d*mn Frankenstein complex.
With apologies to the late Dr. Isaac Asimov.

This bird looks to be based on the YF-23, which the F/A-22 beat out for the Air Force's next air-superiority fighter.
The F-23 was actually rumored to be better than the F-22 which was chosen, but it wasn't as complete a design.

Yowza, that pilot's a babe! Supposedly, it is actress Jessica Alba.

Hmmm...the cast listing says Jessica Biel...the website where the picks are located says Jessica Alba. Must be a typo.

For comparison, here's Eastwood's MiG-31 FIREFOX...
Note, the F/A-37 is a bit more realistically-designed. This is a REAL MiG-31, for those interested...
Its actual NATO codename is "FOXHOUND".

Those are national markings, all services' aircraft carry them, not just USAF.

Am I the only movie fan out here who is tired of seeing fake-boobed, model-looking women in their early 20's playing roles like this? Not that I mind the eye candy, but what's wrong with doing a movie the "old-school" way, with a tough-guy, butt-kicking hero and the chick being his squeeze, just for a change of pace?
Hollywood's crop of female "heroes" just look too "bimbo" to be believable.

"Could an air plane like this even achieve flight? " Put a big enough engine on a brick and it'll fly. The F-4 PHANTOM was a perfect example of the principle...
Besides, looking odd is no barrier to successful flight, as this NIGHTHAWK shows...

Hollywood's crop of female "heroes" just look too "bimbo" to be believable.I think the problem is that very few of them ever even try to play against their beauty. They always want to look perfect.

Notice the pilot is a woman.Notice her name on the cockpit. Doesn't the air force try to keep pilots' names secret?

Who'd a thunk that the Klingon Bird of Prey would come out in a single seater version!

Dang, I thought it looked like sci-fi. And I wondered why I had never heard of it before.
