I want to build my own Stealthfighter

Pete

I thought for years the F-4 was thought to be the ugliest bird around?
Some still think that way, especially those who flew it. G

I saw the first flight of the F-4 at St Louis and sure wasn't
impressed with its looks.

I thought that the Boeing X-32 was the ugliest. Oh, but wait: The X-32 had
sort of a happy face on it (big smiling inlet), so I guess I have to give it
a couple points for personality. "I'm a big fat happy airplane!"

He probably means Tacit Blue, the ugliest airplane to ever fly.

Talk about putting some KC-135's out to pasture also. He could get the
whole system 'off the shelf' (or off the dessert floor) G

Yup. All he needs is a fleet of KC-10's and he'll have global reach.

USAF is talking about putting ten F-117A's in bone yard to save
money. If you can get one, you won't have to reinvent the wheel.

Correction

Really didn't mean 'dessert', but I was hungary (

Aww you guys !!!Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. All it needs is a snazzy
paint job with some stripes and you'll hardly notice that it's butt ugly . One
of my choices is the Henri Fabre Floatplane circa 1910. A pusher canard design
with a biplane canard and single wing.It's most interesting feature was the wing
and canard spars which were located on tops of the airfoils leaving the lower
surfaces nice and smooth. It was said that it didn't perform very well .Hmmm
wonder why ??Maybe zoomy should test it :-)

See ya
