My brother emailed me this web site. It shows a prototype Navy fighter/bomber (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/fa-37-pics.htm) . Here's what he said about it:

The plane in these pictures is still officially the Air Vehicle Number 1, a prototype, onboard the *USS George Washington CVN-73 for catapult fit checks. Not exactly still Top Secret but certainly not yet made public. I believe it will be known as the F/A-37. Although specs are classified, it is believed to be a Mach 3.5 (top speed in the Mach 4 range), super-cruise stealth fighter/bomber/interceptor with
approximately a 4,000nm range.

Then he adds (after I was convinced this was the hottest aircraft I have ever seen): This is actually a prop for an upcoming movie from Tri-Star Pictures called "Stealth" coming out next year.

Cool pictures though.

I lov military aircraft but I must say that this thing looks like something out of a Godzilla movie or maby Mathra.

Is that Barbie I see at the controls? I think she wrecked the last jet she was supposed to have flown. smile.gif
