With pulls and turns like that it cant be exported or shot at!
No wonder the USAF wants it silver bullet built more...

Nice video clip, good explanations of what it is doing and why. Quite maneuverable for those "knife fights in a phone-booth" scenarios! 70,000 pounds of thrust...WOW....I was waiting for it to stop in mid air and back up! Air Brakes you know!!! :wink:

I was driving out to CHina lake and caught one of these guys doing basically this at the same altitude., My friends in the truck with me acted like I was insane when I started yelling and pointing at it. They thought that this stuff was normal. Too many tv shows.
