Personally, I don't like the the F-35, not because of your design, that one's dead on but I mean the fighter itself. It only has one jet where as the Raptor and Black Widow II have two Vector Engines. I think it would've been better to have more engines, but I like the under and top fan it has for still landings

Where is your information coming from with the reactivation of the F-23 Blackwidow II for possible Active Military duty. The last rumor I heard about the F-23 flying again was for Test Flights for either NASA or for the US Air Force at Edwards AFB, but that was at least 2 years ago when I heard of the F-23 flying again and I don't remember what source I heard about that from.

Nice shots of the JAST/JSF Program aircraft. I've always wished the F-35 Lightning II was a Canard/Delta Wing Fighter. As far as know we have never had a Fighter like that in Military service.

Don't get me wrong all the JAST/JSF aircraft designs looked great, I just could never get warmed up to the X-32.

Since you are going to render JAST/JSF aircraft, you should take a look at the ATF aircraft designs from other Military aircraft manufactures that were involved in the early days of the ATF program. The one aircraft design that you should look into is the General Dynamics entry which was in 3rd place for aircraft design. There design looked like a futuristic F-16XL with a Stealth Fusalage. They would of won a contract if they were able to resolve the Twin tail configuration, the original design had a single tail similiar to a F-16. Actually this design developed into what is today the F-22 Raptor.

Blackbird17-I don't remember what source I received my information from, but it might have been one of my acquaintances who worked to build the F-18.
