F-47 is fine with me ... as far as I'm concerned it would expand out to F***-47

I'm picturing protest signs that contain no words, only a photograph of the jet.

Just like his new clothes.

Exactly what Boeing needs right now-- purchase agreements with entities that will never pay one red cent.

Yes, whether you want it to or not!

The Boeing that SHOULD have won the competition for the F-35 is hardly the same company today. The current Boeing is the one that strands astronauts on space stations.

This could be a boondoggle that is 10x worse than Lockheed Martin.

is 47 intentional or just a coincidence?


I'm curious about this as well.

It seems to me, by now CFDT has amassed enough cache leverage to make it happen, either directly, or some lackey/sycophant currying favor.

Any aircraft aficionado know of have an idea what the name of this aircraft would be if not for trumps stranglehold on all/most things government?

35-22 = 13 (bad juju) 35+13 = 48?

[RAMd®d]

Maybe is should have been F-42.

I don't know, the name seems to make sense. I already refer to that effing-47 several times a day.
