I doubt it's real. The Navy has no female pilots capable of flying (and landing) such an aircraft off a carrier.

That was my first clue that something was amiss as the pictures of the aircraft downloaded. Based on female performance when it comes to flying jet aircraft off Navy carrier decks no way a women is going to be entrusted to fly this $50 million airplane ... she may be attractive but she looks positively bewildered.

Nah.

(BE CAREFUL OF PREJUDGING FLYING ABILITIES ....)

Now, what did alert me that this was a "fake" was the loose cockpit canopy, loose "stealth" anti-reflective "teeth" in front of the canopy (that creates air draf, the real ones aren't built like that.)

Wing tips too low for clearance.

Chains and chocks? Good call!

Pilot's "name" was used below the canopy, rather than call-sign.

You should probably add another zero to that price tag.

Quite a few Betty's flying Hornets, Tomcats and Prowlers off of carrier decks.
