| #8 Yah, if you believe David Axe. As I've explained before... The "dogfighting test" he referred to in his article was a _software test_ of the plant's control software,e engine throttle was limited in software. If you hit full throttle, nothing would happen. So naturally if it went through high speed high angle turns it lost energy, lost the dogfight. The ones in _service_ don't have this limitation. It's just that he was wilfully dishonest in his report and it got a lot of traction. |

| #6 Yea DepotGuy, but it was flying in a straight line wasn't it. It apparently cannot fly any other way worth a damn. |

| #3 Sexy! A lot Alan. If you look at UFO sightings, they go more from the old traditional disk one to "cigar" and triangle based when stealth fighters were starting to be tested. |

| #2 I wonder how many UFO sightings that generated in development testing? I looks like a flying python after a meal. |
