I acknowledge that some of the finer things are timeless. Including a few build by Boeing and North American. And I'll see your Betty Grable and raise you a Frances Gifford. Rick L.

ikar Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Yeah, you're probably right, unless they found it in a military scrap yard for some forgotten type of aircraft. Those scrap yards were all over the place back then. I remember seeing a large field of nothing but canopied and turrets and another with assorted aircraft parts in southern N.J. when I was a kid and our home town had storage area not too far from a friend of my Father that we used to sneak into after dark, and a train depot in town about a mile from Picatinny Arsennel that was loaded with stacks of navy life rafts and other things in crates left there until the late 80s.

In reality they were not able to determine what metal it was, or whether it was metal at all. It had properties that still today are unknown to us, like the capabilty to regenerate itself even over a scratch, almost like a hard liquid metal. perhaps that was the resson for no panel lines. I bet that it's still somewhere buried under Area 51. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Me too, but I don't know if it officially counts as a vertical stabilizer. Its kinda both the vertical and horizontal in one. Judges, can we get a decision? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spruemeister Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) I’ll allow it. It’s the YF-23. Rick L. Edited August 13, 2020 by Spruemeister Quote Link to post Share on other sites
