Oh I love it. Especially in such a highly responsive sport utility vehicle.

If I remember correctly it's basically a designation with a pilot name and that's all that has ever been confirmed.

Again if recall correctly, all the designations before and after it turned out to be misappropriated MIGS so could be one from a still classified acquisition.

Given the fact only Schratt seems to know what it looks like and it looks like a lunchtime doodle in Autocad, I'd log that one alongside Fluxliner.

The official Air Force biography of one particular test pilot said that he was handpicked to command a “Classified Flight Test Squadron” that led a "classified prototype aircraft" called the YF-113G “from design to first flight.” As a fighter pilot and experimental test pilot, he accumulated over 2,900 flight hours in 54 aircraft types including Soviet fighters when he was assigned to the 6513th Test Squadron (Red Hats) at Groom Lake. He was first Air Force pilot to fly the YF-113G.

I know of at least one other pilot who flew the YF-113G, and he was also assigned to the Red Hats, which suggests that it was a foreign type (which they refer to as "classified prototypes). On the other hand, the words "from design to first flight" suggest that this was something entirely new like the YF-117A (Nighthawk), YF-117D (Tacit Blue), or YF-118G (Bird of Prey).

Schratt's drawing has no basis in reality.

Anyone know the designation to the purported F117 companion?

Yes.

I hope you're feeling better now. (Maybe well enough to tell us what you think about any aircraft mentioned in this thread)

It's actually turned into bronchitis. In the near future though I going to write a thread that should cause a few meltdowns.

Itll be like 2014 all over again in here. I look forward to it.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Looking forward to a rabbit hole to dive down (I'll be off work for a couple weeks any day now as the baby is due this week)...

Also - get better. My wife and I had some bronchitis that left us with lingering coughs for like weeks.

Dude congratulations on the baby!

Congrats on the rug rat. You'll have to look for it as it won't be posted in the usual places.
