what-if stealth was dead?????

OK stealth has been made useless by new millimeter wave radar. The new plan is super maneuverability! I give you the F-119 Valkyrie. Pilots in the near future do to new G-suits will be able to stand 10-12 G's for short periods. 3-5 sec. out maneuvering missiles.

Your VF-19 appears in a few spots in that mix.

THANK YOU!!! Thought the 23rd FG tail code was a nice touch. trade in A-10's for this? OK!!!

Ahh, gotta love the YF-19.

To EVERYONE: If you haven't seen Macross Plus, go and find it immediately. It's on DVD, in both the four-episode miniseries and the feature-length movie versions. It's spectacular in every possible sense.
