All it does well is go fast in straight lines.
And fly supersonic at less than 500' AGL (until the TFR chucks a wobbly, then )

And scare the bejesus out of anyone underneath, when it sneaks up on you at over M1 from having come in on said straight line and it's gone before you even knew it was there...

And it looks the absolute bl00dy business (even just sitting on the flight line). Big, pointy, low and mean with lots of swept-back leading edges -

Loved those Volvo ads from a few years back, where a Volvo drag-raced a Piggy - the ovlov got out of the blocks faster, but then the pig driver kicked in the burner and away he went. Final shot was a head-on of the pig taking off over the ovlov.
