- cusoman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1When people are saying "not new" they mean it's not new to Digg. This has been covered already. It's amazing so many are digging it. Pay attention people.
- nihilator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And it's not being developed. It's already in service.
- andykee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1this news is so old that the gov't already cut a major chunk of the funding for this aircraft... last year!
- nbx909, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1One almost hit me the other day after landing at a local airport.... it crossed the runway crosswind after i had just landed.. made me rething going for my private liceanse for a couple seconds.
- ultimate_ed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The YF-23 was a cooler looking plane. I was dissapointed that the YF-22 was picked.

and let's let all know about the block feature - M4v3rIC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Theres no new pics in this. why is it on the front page?
- TheRealPod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I got to climb around the YF-23, excellent plane. Everyone pretty much agrees it was superior for the job. LM just had the cooler (and not super useful) thrust vector features.
- furiouszebra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The Chinese will probably have a copy of this in a few years.
I'm not kidding.

- TheDecn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Too bad air-to-air combat is a thing of the past, all of our precision-guided weapons can be delivered via cruise-missile or bomber, and the predator has already made manned-fighters obsolete. Though I guess it is pretty impressive that the design phase for this thing began 20 years ago and it was still delivered with some pretty impressive technology. 20 years ago is like...before we even had computers or something.
- furiouszebra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Stunning, koolaidguy. Just stunning.
- telegraham, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The bird has been renamed to the "F-22A."
- white, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this is so old. do jets even have pilots anymore?
- manicdvln, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Euro Fighter ownz all.
- zuby_, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this is a nice plane though, it and the f35 will be the last manned fighters jets planned up, the future planes will be UAV's, f22 is nice, though it will soon be in the boneyard with other planes, soon
- mrpither, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0p.s. it's not the f/a-22 anymore - it's the f-22a. it was renamed when they went active.
p.p.s. stoopid robots. stop them, kevin, stop them! - nihilator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This was already on Digg.
- lucask, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Digg Robot spam ugh
and @ mr J-XX
JSF program will be implemented years before they get initial tests off the ground.
Lockheed Martin baby! - rjoseph, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0a fighter that's been in development for over twenty years isn't news to anyone... sometimes this digg system doesn't work well at all, this post should have been dropped as soon as it was posted. WORTHLESS.
- Digg360, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Did I say that this is new news? It is a new aircraft by military standards, and some people may be interested in the design and technology of the aircraft since it is starting to get alot of air time on tv. Also, not everyone may be as intelligent as you. My bad.
- facka, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lol thx dcjoedog
- ZephyrNorthWest, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The thing carries 480 rounds of ammunition and fires at a rate of 100 rounds per second... so this thing has a little under 5 seconds of ammo? Seems a little short to me...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+01988 called, they want their fighter back.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0
In testing, they put ONE FA/22 against FIVE top pilots in F15's.... the FA/22 pilots are able to totally blow away the F15's. It's going to be one hell of a force multiplier. - Jonthn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Widely known already..
