Just by looking at it two of the biggest fundamental problems with this jet are very apparent: Too much weight and not enough wing.
You obviously don't know shit about airplanes. The SR-71 was designed to be a very blah blah blah blah
Are you fucked up? Do you have the attention span to realize who people are replying to and what that means in terms of context? Jesus Christ, I was talking about the shitbird F-35. SR-71 is dope.

I never got to hump the sr71 but I have humped a f117a and a b1b and my personal favorite the a10 warthog. The a10 was one of the last at our base to still have the shark teeth painted on it. Just something sexy about a big godamn gun with wings shoved on the side of it. 
I agree A-10's are just nasty flying tanks. they can take all sorts of punishment and fly just fine. That is one hell of a Mechanics Aircraft. and dirty sexy..
I was a crew chief on F-15 for many years and banged a few girls in the engine intakes a few times on the weekends. cool jet also, but lost the flair after it pissing hydro and gas on me for so many years.
ahhh the memories..

The A-10 is my kind of aircraft. It can take it and it sure can dish it out.
Very welcome sight to troops on the ground.

That sound.... 
A-10 GAU-8, 30mm Gatling gun sound.
That gun
The SR-71's replacement... SR-72,
Quote:
In a recent announcement Lockheed Martin has said it will finally develop the SR-71’s successor, the SR-72.
“Envisioned as an unmanned aircraft, the SR-72 would fly at speeds up to Mach 6, or six times the speed of sound. At this speed, the aircraft would be so fast, an adversary would have no time to react or hide.” Says a Lockheed press release.
“Hypersonic aircraft, coupled with hypersonic missiles, could penetrate denied airspace and strike at nearly any location across a continent in less than an hour,” said Brad Leland, Lockheed Martin program manager, Hypersonics. “Speed is the next aviation advancement to counter emerging threats in the next several decades. The technology would be a game-changer in theater, similar to how stealth is changing the battlespace today.”
More impressive than the SR-72’s performance statistics might be it’s expected delivery date. The aviation giant believes it can have SR-72’s “operational” by 2030.
Only 17 years off....

But really, they are SO quiet. Nothing like the F-15 they are replacing. They sound, well... new.
I love the sound of those F-15's, they fly them out of the Kingsley Field Air National Guard Base and sometimes do hot laps around the Medford airport and the nearby VA Rehab Center. Back when i used to work nearby I'd go out and watch them fly around. The sound they make when the decide to fly straight up is dandy.

I'll take three, where do I place my order?
What's the difference between the new f35 and the one that has been in development? The paint-job?

The main difference is that one will be recalled on safety/stability issues a bit sooner than the other...

They're the same thing. The paint jobs are simply for show. The picture I posted in the OP is the most likely combat color that they have.

By the time they get the bugs ironed out of the F-35--AKA the 'Flying Federal Reserve Bank'--it will be obsolete.

I saw an F-18 do that at an airshow in the 80's. F-18 is the loudest airplane in the world.
They have the F-22s at Holloman AFB just outside my hometown in New Mexico. The 49th TFW. Back when the stealth was under development, in the early 80's, there were all kinds of 'UFO sightings' around there.

I used to work out at White Sand Missile Range. My radar site used to get get attacked by F-111's testing their systems. Those fuckers came so fast that we didn't hear them until they passed right over us at about 300ft. They were a lot more fun to play against than F-15's.
Outside once in a while we would see those prototypes of the F-117 and it was like WTF???

That's super fucking cool. I feel like in all aspects of technology we're bumping up against a wall that will hold us back for generations.
