Javelin...

Looks nice, but could suffer from some of the "Cirrus-like" links
between marketing and safety record. Still, if I had the money, it
would be the ultimate ride. (as long as your kids don't want to ride
along).

They've been talking about this thing for a while, but it would seem
that there is only one flying..?

Truly awesome! Breathtaking!

I hear Hayden "Jim" Sheaffer's* has a deposit down on one of those.
Pilots like him shouldn't have any problem thinking ahead of an
aircraft like the Javelin. :-)

Reminds me of a T-33.

Form does follow function, in this case, doesn't it?

2 engines, 2 seat, small, no need for heavy carry capability. Plop! There
it is; almost like a T-33!

I meant some of the details, like the intakes, and the arches along
the size.

Lots of 2 seat jets with similar capability don't look like a T-33.

What a maroon I am...

I was actually referring to the Javelin resembling a T-38, the trainer
version of the F5.

Hey, _I_ knew what I was talking about! G

Yeah, I did too, and I wasn't even in your head! I didn't catch the
mistake, either.

Seriously though, given the project's mission, it is not surprising to me
that it came out looking a lot like the T-38. There are not that many
different ways you can arrange things, and make it perform as the designers
intended. I'm sure they did a lot of, "well, what is out there, that does
what we want to do, and does it look cool. It has to look cool!"
