It was gonna happen sooner or later, a QF-16. The USAF has used many aircraft for the QF role. Being a fan of the F-4, I was sad to see it used. Maybe in the future, a QF-22 or QF-35 will be used.
Also, the Wright-Patterson Museum already has an F-22 on display. So, a QF model can be in the future too. |

This thread sure has the ole memory bank firing....
The F-22 at the Wright-Patt museum....I was involved with getting it there. The a/c was at Hill AFB, Utah and scheduled to move. The day of the move from the hangar to the ramp, aka where the cargo a/c will park, the snow came down in feet. We had to get it done anyway. So, there we were with our plow truck pushing snow out of the way all the while moving our a/c loading equipment around and sometimes getting stuck with the forklifts. It was a day for all hands on deck due to the conditions and the amount of equipment used. We got it done while being safe and without incidents. That's all that really counts. |

Pilotless = soulless. They have their uses, but for a ground bound enthusiast, there's just no excitement there

Fighter aircraft technology is being held back as the human body can only take so much G force, aircraft now can exceed our G force limit. I have read the F-35 will be the last manned fighter. |
