My brother emailed me these pictures of a new Navy fighter on board the USS Abraham Lincoln for sea qualifications on the date of June 18, 2004. Does anyone know what it is, I'm guessing it's a Northrop product???

That thing looks weird... best guess for the maker: Northrop (looks like a morphed YF-23)

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

Very clever piece of design work. Am I the only one to see the resemblance to a big bird in shot #2?

I assume you've been peeking at my pretty little yellow birds in the Photos forum. Wink

This one looks better all ~~black~~ grey & menacing - like a bird of prey. Hmmm. Roll Eyes

Wrong film. Isn't that something to do with Star Trek? Grin

EVERETT, Wash. - It was a different kind of shooting for the crew of the USS Abraham Lincoln. Instead of guns being fired, cameras were rolling for the movie "Stealth."

The reference is to "Big Bird" of "Sesame Street", the US children's television show.

Looking at the article, it appears to be similar to "Firefox" wherein the "Mig31" is the secret plane

Keep an eye out for the movie "Stealth" to see this jet in action. I wouldn't mind having a jet like this for FS9!! Shocked

Hhhmmm. a navy stealth jet with forward swingers. sounds russian. i know that the original design for the Sukhoi-47 Burkut was to have these wings, and apparently the next version of the Sukhoi-47, the Sukhoi-49, will have these type of wings. only by then Russia will be so poor that they wont be able to buy any. Anyway. hhmmm. yeh, good design, very efficient, but what's the point? The Navy will soon have the F-35, so what is the point of it? Oh, yeh. USA. I forgot that.
