China Stuns With Heavy Stealth Tactical Jet’s Sudden Appearance
In something of a stunning development, China appears to already be flying a stealthy, high-performance, flying-wing, sixth-generation crewed combat aircraft, imagery of which began to emerge today. At this early stage, we have very little idea about the precise identity of the new aircraft, but...

The F-35A crashed at its home field, Eielson AFB, this afternoon and its dramatic last moments were caught on video from the flightline.

Both titles originally belonged to the F-104 Starfighter.
It’s a little silly to use those terms to describe a jet that has had a handful of incidents with over 1,000 jets in service and iirc, only one fatality (at least half of the incidents involved human error as well).

The crash doesn’t tarnish the fighter’s reputation as a reliable workhorse.

Scraping the bottom of the barrel there Daffy with 6 year old pictures of pre-production models
Notice how they blurred out the registration numbers to hide that fact?Looks like the same version as in this video from six years ago...
Each iteration is improving and here is a picture comparing the old pre-production model to the version the Russian Air Force actually uses.

Yup and it's 1 of 1000s, while the pretender is 1 of 15 or something.
It's like China and their 5th gen using 4th gen engines

interesting how the F-14 could have been modernized and still been flying today in 2025
and instead we have the over priced and engineered F35
