She's pretty ... ain't technology grand!!

But ... Raptor???

I still long for names like .... Skyhawk .... Intruder .... Phantom .... Crusader ... Corsair II ..... Vigilante ..... Skywarrior .... Skyraider .... tough, mean, purposeful names.

Oh, well .......... :sleep_125

$$ aside, definitely an amazing airplane... That was some of the first footage I've seen. Didn't realize that even the guns were concealed.

Then why don't they call it ... Eagle?? Ooops ... that's right ... already taken.

I have a hard time getting all hot and breathy @ "raptors" when they lay around all day on my roof basking in the sun and squawking at me until I throw some hot dogs out onto the beach for them.

Raptor, my ass .... scroungers is more like it.

It would make you want to jump out of helicopters to shoot people, and wear cool IR goggles. :icon_tong

From what I hear, they want to call it the "Growler."
