New Navy Prototype Fighter/Attack Aircraft???
I got an e-mail with the following tag line: Check out the Navy test pilot in the cockpit of the F/A-37... Lt. Kara Wade. The plane in these pictures is still officially the Air Vehicle Number 1, a prototype, onboard the USS George Washington CVN-73 for catapult fit checks. Not exactly still Top Secret but certainly not yet made public. I believe it will be known as the F/A-37. Although specs are classified, it is believed to be a Mach 3.5 (top speed in the Mach 4 range), super-cruise stealth fighter/bomber/interceptor with approximately a 4,000nm range. Awesome!

But seriously, folks, the photos below do not actually reveal an experimental, top-secret aircraft. Rather, they are shots from the set of the upcoming Columbia Pictures/Backbreaker Films motion picture, Stealth, starring Josh Lucas and Jessica Biel. That's Biel, playing Lt. Kara Wade, in the cockpit in the third image. Notice the film crews and cameras in the first and fourth images. The carrier shown in the pictures is the the USS Abraham Lincoln, not the Washington, as alleged above. The photos were taken by U.S. Navy Photographer's Mate 3rd Class Tyler J. Clements on board the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln and released by the Navy's PR department.

As much as we'd like to see an aircraft like this, it is still just a Hollywood set. Just a hoax. And the movie was a joke, except for looking at Jessica Biel in a flightsuit.
