Interesting that the press release is written in the past tense. When did this thing first fly?

Bloody Awesome!

Well i wonder what that little puppy will be like with a 35,000lb class engine in and the size of an F22? Makes the F-35 look a bit outdated really does it not?

Anyway, what's next? Starships, warbirds perhaps the next Enterprise is already being built but for the USAF not the USN.

Top link Tony, thankyou i'll add it to my favourties.
