A friend recently assured me that the mystery stealth aircraft that
crashed at Boscome Down was a TR-3B ASTRA (Advanced Stealth Technology Recon Aircraft) which was positively identified as aircraft AV-6, serial number 94-2414, call sign "Blackbuc 11". He also said that Lockheed isn't the most advanced stealth designer anymore as the TR-3B is made by Northrop's ATDC as well as being the leading designer of the future B-3 bomber. Is any of this true, and if so, how did he get the info? He also said the ASTRA each cost $5 trillion!!! I can only guess that we possess around 3 of them, so what would one be doing in the UK? The way the crash was described to me made it sound like a stealth fighter was involved, not a huge triangular recon aircraft. The aircraft described was more likened to the losing YF-23, I thought. Anyone else heard the same? Kenneth Williams |
