I found your Delta Wing Fighter
Tue Feb 08, 2005 11:36 pm
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.

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?

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.
