In response to a earlier post where possible delta wing aircraft were flying in the U.S.

Well earlier this evening a F-21 KFIR slid off the runway at the Newport News Airport. Just north of my location. The Pilot survived and no reason was given for the cause. Beautiful aircraft. She was painted in aggressor scheme and had the markings of ATAC 806KF. ATAC appearently is a company that helps train USAF and USN pilots by basically playing the bad guys. I'll keep my eyes pealed to the local news website for details.

WAVY 10 news finally posted photos of the KFIR.

Doesn't look in too bad shape from the wee pics.

Scott,

That was my first impression too....


Paul

Yep. That looks like what I saw. Underwing tanks too. I couldn't see the canards since they were going away from me.

Wouldn't the nose cone be messed up?

It still looks like a pretty diorama to me....

No Boys they're legit.

The pictures look like that, because they're video feed taken by the "Chopper 10" News Helicopter at altitude with one of those "power of the sun" spotlights.

If I get a chance I'll see if i can get out to the airport to see the aircraft. But I imagine it's not there by now. It's been a week so far.
