Great shot! As much fun as it is to drive a Corvette, I could not imagine the adreneline rush to fly one of those jets.

Fighter jet pilot = one damn cool job!

Yes ma'am, you are correct.

Saw a program on these a few years ago. Until they're air born and the panels and seals expand, they do infact profoundly leak fuel.

To the OP, nice pic. My favorite plane to date. Thanks for sharing and thanks for your service.
