TBH Westy these kinds of threads always fill me with amusement.
We all know the military rarely tell all specs-wise (and certainly not right at the begining of a planes 'service career').
But
My bet is that it won't be too long till someone who knows someone who overheard someone connected at the lab/factory/design-shop/base blah blah blah
ends up trying to tell us that they have it on good authority that it can really fly in interstellar space, actually.
...... which I might add it does regularly to maintain our contact with the federation of galactic civilisations we are a part of but our governments
are keeping quiet from us - and all at a zillion MPH, at least.
......and anyway it was all invented over 60yrs ago by the nazis, almost made it into service and almost coulda won the war for them too.
The USA just stole and copied/reverse-engineered the technology (which partly came from aliens too that the nazis were in contact with down at their
antarctic base).
No really.
It's all true, and a bloke said so on the inter-net so that proves it.
