Air Force announces new Fighter Jet

[clob94]

A 6th generation stealth fighter.



At the low, low price of only $60 billion.
@GuaranteedFresh! You'll be happy to know that all your Chair Force fighter jockey buddies will be rid of those pesky F22 Raptors and be cruising around in style in this new ride- while Marine pilots are still using jumper cables and bond-o to get their Harrier jump jets in the air.

So my questions are-

What's the payload? What's the max altitude? What's the cruising and max speed? Is it purely air to air or does it have ATG capabilities? I'm betting there's no gun on board-- despite what Tom Cruise would have you believe, close proximity air to air dog fights are a thing of the past. We've got air to air missile that can be fired from 250 miles away. Those missile travel at mach 3 or faster-
That means at 250 miles away, you've still got 7 minutes until time on target. You could land your plane and taxi into a fvcking bunker in 7 minutes. (Theoretically)

I'll be looking forward to seeing this aircraft--- probably $200 billion dollars over budget and 10 years late.......

So you know a guy named Tom- an engineer who helped design the cockpit, who's from New Braunfels and was a Navy Hornet pilot.

Guns? Pffft! We're in the age of lasers my man. The navy recently commissioned one for service and a few aircraft have been toying with them as countermeasure.

This 6th gen acft had to have been in the works for a while already. We learned about the f22 during from our BMT manual in basic training......late 90s.

His wife has a younger brother that is one of my closest friends. Saw him a while back at his father in law's funeral. Great guy. He got us a tour of the facility the weekend after the F35 made it's public debut. Got to be there when the facility was pretty much empty. Wasn't allowed to walk past the ropes on the assembly line of the F16s they had because it was "off limits".

He literally helped to write the pilot survival guide for Naval aviators if they were shot down over Bosnia during that war. Literally the- "So..... you've been shot down over Serbia. That sucks. Here's a guidebook for how we get you home."

Next time you see him, tell him you know Clob.... remind him of the time we all went to Billy Bob's. He's a good dude.
