April fools. [:p]
Yup! Total fake. That photo has been floating around the internet ever since the filming last summer. Several senders “guaranteeing the authenticity” because they had actually seen it fly. B_ _ _ S _ _ _ !

They are fake, pic are from a new movie that is coming out soon, can’t remember the name.

The name of the movie is “Stealth” and features Jessica Biel in a blue bikini. Looks to be Number 5 from “Short Circut” learns to fly otherwise.
Even though it is 100% Hollywood created, I still think it looks cool… you think anyone will put a kit of it out???
Very fake, but kinda cool. Doubt that it will be kitted.
Regards, Rick
The only way any of the kit manufacturers are going to produce that “thing” is if the movie is a huge success along the lines of Star Wars or Top Gun and that is VERY unlikely.

kinda reminds me of the end BACK TO THE FUTURE III when doc comes back in the time-traveling train engine
Okay just a thought here. What if the plane IS real and we’re only being told it’s a Hollywood movie just to make everyone THINK it’s a fake? It’s sort of like building a fake Rock Ridge so they’ll attack it thinking it’s the REAL Rock Ridge but we’ll know they’re attacking the fake Rock Ridge! LOL!

Oh no…not again, will this EVER go away!
That IS a fake! PERIOD. My daughter is an avionics engineer with Boeing working on the EF-18 Growler and was on a field trip aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln last summer in June. The “thing” and the Hollywood crew was also on board for the live action shots. She has photos of the thing that she took with her camera. There is NO question whatsoever that it is a FAKE.

the quote by echolmberg sounds like its based on Blazing saddles, basicaly joking[:D]
I’ve found the real one !! [:D][:D]
Actually saw the preview for it last night at ROTS. Some great looking shots revolving around another old, tired story. The jist I got is these hotshot Navy pilots fly their new stealth airplanes in typical hotshot fashion. In an effort to save people from getting killed, a new plane is developed with an AI on board to fly. Can anyone see where this is going. Yep, you guessed it. The new plane gets hit by lightning causing it to become self aware and pissed. Leading to mass destruction and the inevitable ending but who will survive. Maybe when it hits the $1 theater if the reviews aren’t too bad. That blue bikini did look pretty good…
Capt Caveman, thanks for getting my joke. LOL! [:D]
LOL…
I love the pics of the thing ready for a catapult launch…still chained to the deck!! Careful there…you might damage the paint on the launching shuttle like that…

Don´t get me wrong now - I´ve got nothing against female pilots. I´m pro all that stuff.
But the fact that a woman i piloting that AC gives it away for me. I don´t know the exact percentage of female pilots in the real world, but in Hollywood it seems to be 50/50. Maybe the movie takes place in the future when that is reality. Looking forward to that.
actually there are female fighter pilots on aircraft carriers probably a 60/40 ratio of male pilots to female pilots.
Where are the pictures of the blue bikini? I would like to see those!!![:D]
The only thing I can find is some fake stealth fighter.[V]
It isn’t half as cool as the “Mig-31 Firefox” (starring Clint Eastwood)!
