The A-10 in the second photo is from England AFB in Louisiana...
this air base has been closed since 1992 i think... therefore I'm not sure when this was shot but if it was recent the plane must be in mothballs there at Langley.

Judging from the emblem on the vertical stabilizer and the paint job on it's nose this particular A-10 has to be from the 23rd Tactical Fighter Wing, aka the "Flying Tigers"...

uh, what do these pics have to do with anything?

Yes the F-15 is an impressive fighting machine, but please state what that has to do with today's news and technology.

Dude, i dont mean to be mean but this is for current news of aircraft and such and future plans for aircraft not things that have been released public and everyone knows about, it is old news, like 20 year old news. Plus do not start a thread beginning with your opinon, try looking at past threads see the format. I know i know my threads arent that good, but that was before the new year.

i was at langely looking for the f-22's when i snapped this photo. I didnt find them, either they were in hangars( and there were hundreds so i couldnt look in them all) or not delivered yet. The f-22 simulators and dining fcilities for workers are currently being built at langely. when i no where they are I will take a pic and post it.

I can tell you for sure as of this date (2/11/04)... they have not been delivered yet. if there are any F-22's at Langley they are just passing through.

If you want to see some Raptors go to Lockheed Martin’s plant in Marietta, Georgia, there are a dozen or more there at any given time.

If you want to see some Raptors in supersonic flight, they are doing test flights out of Lockheed Martin’s plant in Marietta.

The flight path of the "Raptor testing corridor" has been approved by the FAA for supersonic flight and covers 120 miles, traveling north out of Marietta to just south of Crossville, southeast over Chattanooga, TN and then on to Huntsville, AL.

Here is a cool f-15 pic I found online. I had it set as my wallpaper for awhile.

Nice shot of the F-15's from the 4th Fighter Wing out of Seymour Johnson AFB, N.C.

the Aurora is what alot of people are seeing at night, triangle shaped craft with lights, no date when release in use...

or the manta..

spyplane, looks like a unmanned one

The UAV "spyplane" is the Darkstar... not in service, most likely a cover program for a black project..

The "Aurora" and Manta are not new to this board, there are lots of threads on ATS for these craft...

nice pix though -

sweet pics, ive read on a black project site somewhere(dont remmebr the site sry) that the manta was meant as a foward UAV strike plane, meant to go down at low altitudes and bomb the living insane out of the enemy.

The aurora, well too many topics on that for me to go into.

And that UAV like intel gurl said it is the Darkstar.

ive acually seen the darkstar in person at the National Air force museum, altough i didnt realise how important it was till later. I also got to see tacit blue, the Bird of Prey, the f-117, yf-22, and b-2

The assumption being that new US aircraft have anti-grav tech? If so then that is why the sightings are of craft with no discernable propulsion system.

what are you talking about, i dint understand waht you are tryin to say. this post is just about f-15's and nothing to do with top secret technology.
