brickhistory Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Stand down with your fear-mongering, mister. Once again, good ol' Uncle Sam's already been there... Unfortunately, the 'captain' of this US Navy floatie thing was relieved of command due to saying the word "fcuk." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nunya Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 So they basically militarized a Lake Amphib? How creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BQZip01 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 When they have one that can go supersonic, then I'll be concerned...40 years ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockheedFix Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Does anybody else find it humorous that they went to the trouble of putting F-22 style angles on the fuselage and tail so it would be "stealthy" and then stuck a big propeller on top?
