That thing is sooooo loud in person. Saw it in Chicago over the summer.

Aren't we all grateful that bird flies for US!

It's Very, Very LOUD . . .

When I was young Chief, Dad (then big chief) took me and brother to airshow. Wanted to be pilot for long time, then found out they want responsible people...

This aircraft could out-turn an F-15 & 18 . . .

It's Thrust-Vectoring could make it stand on it's tail, and do a 90 Degree Turn . . .

Amazing . . .

Was stationed at Edwards AFB when the prototype was testing there. The only flying prototype, and the pilot belly flopped it on the runway, and it burned. Bet he flew B52s after that.

No, he is flying a desk now...LOL

Charlie

Get a good look. After Obama is elected these will be scraped. Peace will fill the world

Nice Shot!!

Thanks . . .

That was a close pass, and the image has minimal crop . . .

Doesn't look like there is much crap in the photo to me.

We played around with the Thrust Vectoring on the F-16 early 90's for awhile when they were owned/built by General Dynamics... that got scrapped, Pilots in the F-16s couldn't sustain the G-Force and Zero G factor the TVS would/could put on their body's...
