The funny thing is that based on research done since these were conceived, they are already out of date.

Personally, I want to see what's cutting edge today, but we won't find out about that for 20 years.

Think about it... the SR-71 Blackbird, whose ceiling and top speed are STILL classified was designed in 1958! I want to know what's top of the line, using the latest and greatest. It's gotta be so cool that words can't describe it (including the non-word 'wack').

I resorted to the trusty goal line play...."cool"

Cutting edge is the UF-22....U for Unmanned

"Cool" will always be cool.

However, "Chillax" will always be "wack".

:D

I was going for the sarcasm of it...but it was not a good choice

typcially things aren't brought to the public light until the government wants to use them.

I rembmer being at nellis AFB for Operation Red Flag in 1997; and seeing a pedestal of a F111 fighter; . I can't recal the exactly specifics, but I remember seeing a plaque on beneath a F111 on a pedastal that read the innaugural flight was in 1978 or something crazy; and we didn't even hear about the B2 or F111 until the Gulf War when we wanted to try out our new toys. I was in Navy intel an it was a surprise to me.

I believe there is some SERIOUS firepower/avionics/stealth in production that we simply haven't heard about yet. They'll let us know 10 years after it's been deployed.

F22 is a Bad, Bad, machine. In a good way.

Most of the tech we use now was developed decades ago.. Just think what is on their drawing board now..

Exactly. Which gives me a 'tingly' feeling in the 'nether regions".

:D

Think you might have your plans & time lines mixed up. The F-111 was used as far back as the bombing of Libya, and was very mush in the news then. If your thinking of the F-117, it was first used in the Panama invasion, and was public before then.

That's what I was thinking as well. The F-111 came out in the late 60's and was retired in the late 90's.
