Here's some shots to the YF-23, available in the Military Downloads section. I think it needs a little more snap in the manuverability department, but the looks are absolutely great!

Yes. It's a C-5. That's by far my favorite aircraft. It's the newest GMAX version with 3 textures. In the photo, I just landed the YF-23 at Travis AFB, (KSUU), where I inserted several C-5's as AI traffic. I think the one shown, is on it's way to Edwards AFB, (KEDW).

Thanks for the kudos, guys. Grin

It had to fit into the size of a F-15, so thet limits the heigth of the tails.
And the guys at nothrop know their stuff about stealth tech, which makes it into the flat tails.
Personally i think that the YF-23 should have been the definitive aircraft instead of the F-22. it has a smaller side profile, which will make it a more difficult target in dogfights.

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here
