Hey there. I don't know what is its name, I saw 3 of photos of that plane, one with a crane i guess. Never got any info info about it, but looks so real I think its not a photoshop. May be a new experimental tech plane, like Su37 Berkut, both look amazing and futuristic.    I will also appreciate any info about that thingy.   BTW, do you remember HAWK_Ghazz, that's me , from UBI, about a year ago.TX-WarHawk  White 4  "Owning n0Obs in AA and FB since 2003"

Flightrisk....  Wow!!!!  It looks alien!!!  But, check this out: It looks cool, but unfortunately, it isn't real. This airplane has been making the rounds for several weeks now, with folks being a bit confused as to whether it is the real deal. On 18 June 2004 a scene for the upcoming Columbia Tri-Star movie "Stealth" was filmed on the flight deck aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72). Lincoln was conducting local operations in preparation for an upcoming scheduled deployment after 10 months of dry docked Planned Incremental Availability (PIA). About 80 cast and crew members were aboard the Everett-based aircraft carrier to shoot scenes for the Columbia Pictures action film starring Josh Lucas, Jessica Biel and Sam Shepard, The $130 million film is expected to hit theaters in 2005. According to the back story, the F/A-37 "Talon" is a Mach 3.5, super cruise stealth fighter/bomber/interceptor with a 4000nm range. Top speed is somewhere in the Mach 4+ range. The movie is premised on an artificial-intelligence program designed to fly jet aircraft and reduce human casualties. Not surprisingly, one of the AI robo-pilots runs amok when Navy officials decide to use an unmanned version of the “Talon”. When the plane begins attacking friendly forces, Navy pilots are called in to save the planet from artificial intelligence. If you want to see the source of the forum post here it is but......When you get to the forum page (below) make sure you have an industrial popup blocker. The "Check out this new Navy plane!" named ...globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/fa-37-pics.htm redirects you to another web sites that contains 5 small pictures and sneaks 5 popupshttp://uplink.space.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=freespace&Number=11453&page=23&view=collapsed&sb=9&o=0&fpart=Flightrisk, it's great to hear from you man.   Do you still have TS installed? If so, get on comms, would love to hear your Tenessee voice. TX-WarHawkI love your sig... almost choked on my coffee.S~TX-MonguseWhite 1War Room General

...good eye Monguse on posting the link.Look at the pic that shows the "plane" from the rear view..with the AE/AT flight deck crewman(green vest) manning the movie camera! Also note the two tie down chains on the main mounts as the jet sits on Cat 2...very bogus! What surprised me is that they fired up the boilers to provide the steam for the catapult(s) just to get some shot for a movie...guess if it is going to make the Navy look good some movie budget can buy anything...TX-Cuda
