Flies like a bird. Tail flapping like crazy.

I have watched this about fifteen times now, and although I haven't flown a decent jet since I left my beloved F4, (to rot you fecking stinkers), I think this looks like a beautiful aeroplane.

Everything about it looks right, to me at any rate, it has a smooth and flowing form that looks aloft even when stationary. I think this will be an amazing 'plane and I wish I was young enough to go and fly one.

Imagine flying something like this over Germany and pissing about like we used to - reckon even the jaguars might be afraid of these. I know how different the workload is in these truly modern jobs, and it must be getting close to the days when we could truly 'dance the skies', God, I hope our service has the balls to force the politicos to buy this.
