Bob, it was on a US carrier a couple months back, for a movie.
Pretty good looking prop, if a bit far fetched.

Its always better to lose -an- engine, not -the- engine.


Its a very cool looking prop. If it not a national security issue, what
movie was it being used for?

Its for a movie called "Stealth" that comes out next year..plot sounds
like Knight Rider with jet planes.

The movie is "Stealth" and it comes out 7/29/05. The aircraft was
filmed on the deck of the aircraft carrier "Abraham Lincoln". The
aircraft is a "Talon" controlled by AI pilot who gets out of control
and starts to destroy stuff. Two other pilots are sent in to destroy
the aircraft.


"Knight Rider with jet planes" probably ain't far off the mark, given
that the director/writer, Rob Cohen, was responsible for "Knight Rider
2010". He's better known recently for directing "The Fast and the
Furious" and "XXX", both movies with lots of testosterone and very
little plot. Oh yeah, and the *nudge* *wink* treatment of Skull & Bones,
everyone's favorite Yalie "secret society", "The Skulls" (2000).

Oh yeah, and there's lots more pictures dating from about mid-June (if
your news server archives that far back) over in
alt.binaries.pictures.military.
