That is because the A-17 was reportedly design using techonlogy from the YF-23. everything I've ever seen states that the A-17 is Northrop Grumman/USAF program.

Wouldn't it be a NorthtropGrumman/Boeing project... now that Panthomworks is a Boeing division...

True, the A-17 from what I understand is a Northrop Grumman project.

Shattered OUT...

In that photo it would have to be a pretty awkward angle for them to be Tomcats or Tornados. Still, it's possible.

Perhaps this is the famed Aurora/TRB-3/A-17 except they're the same plane.

Still, there's always different opinions.
