That sure is pretty. Black jets just look bad @$$. Course so do our aggressors. Wouldn't that be a wild scheme? Seeing 22's and 35's in aggressor colors. Maybe 20 or 30 years from now.

Guess I was sent some of the same exact photos too....might as well share them.

Sorry if their the same ones but they are nice, notice the engine is removed from the aircraft in hanger.

Enjoy...........

I'm just curious, there are white bands on the wing tips, tail tips, and horizontal stabs. Does that means there are sensors there? There seem to be white bands all over the place, what could that mean?

Don't know, I have not seen one up close unless it is a composite area?

What's the bump on top of the left intake (Picture 12). Can't be the cannon, that's on the other side.

Gun is on the left - you are looking at it.
