Almansur

Me's'a foreigner, patois' different. Sorry, will amend ways. My main question is: doesn't that AT-6 gear look a bit frail for what it is?

These are prototypes with interim engines. They are saying that they will change a bit on the production model, we'll see. However they claim that the bird will be "less stealthy than the F-22 but more maneuverable"... whatever that means.

AT-6 dry lake bed Why is it that the following gear looks to me far less scary? But then again, what do I know?...

There are two between those engines. The bird is bigger than a Raptor... and is also "pre-navalized" in structure. Look at that gear!

Interesting demo. And it seems India will get at least 150 of them...

That's one great read. Got a signed copy! The A-1 was one heck of a bird!

Correct me if I am wrong... but isn't he coming in far too hot judging from the other Viper in front? Main wheels are smoking and it looks like the right brake got really hot in there.

Hope Obama invites them for a beer or three at the White House, even if it has to be late at night with no cameras.

One thing I regret... there are plenty of good people on the bottom of that sea, this POS does not deserve to share it with them. A world of respect for the Seals Teams!

With one important distinction: in continuous production ever since!

Let him. Dumb as he is he'd be Predator fodder in 5 secs flat...
