I'm an only child,and I'm 36. Which I think by law says I have to ween myself off of immediate relatives,and graduate to cousins(had I siblings in the first place....naturaly). If General Dynamics signed off on it???....then I am completely cool with it.Wouldn't they have had to clear it with Mickey-D's as well for the F-18 bits??? You know what.....never mind....just disregard every thing I've said.......I need to learn to REEED!!! I'm just gonna go F^*# OFF now.

There's no theft of design going on. The US State dept. says no to any advanced weapons purchases but GD will help you build something nice. You'll notice the missiles are probably semi-active homers, so yesterday. How's yur sister, Tex?

Now if you'll excuse me.....I have to go sleep with my sister.

Ooof,Your breakin' my heart Leo. I considered you to be one of the most logical and intelligent people posting here.Is a Mig-15 a copy of an Me-262??? No! But it has a swept wing?? Yep,but the Mig was simply the next "evolution there of", not the flat out "theft there of". As soon as I am KING,here's what I'd suggest.....you want to buy someones F-16....but can't afford it?? Then you say to them "How about I give you a fat chunk of money for the rights to take your intellectual property and hack it up into something that better suits my needs??".And if you don't,then the host nation should have the option of sanctioning the ever lovin' shit out of you or send over a few of the "original property" to render the afore mentioned "bastardized versions" into many,many small useless pieces.To be totally honest....I really wasn't thinking of it that way....but your wrong...China is not financing our wars! They bought in to "America", what we do with the money is our own business,but all the better reason to let them know that now.....we don't owe them quite as much as they have receipts for!!!!!!!!!!!! That's not to mention the Trillions and Trillions of dollars a year they make off of ignoring International Patent Laws!! But then again....I'm just a dumb ass American,what do you expect from a redneck in Texas??

Actually, Taiwan wanted to buy American but the State Department said no because China is financing American wars.

Only Germans are allowed to build swept wings and Deltas. Reggie Mitchell stole the spitfire wing from heinkel. Only the wrights can build 3-axis controls. When you become King of the World, Cody302, I expect you'll make it all right, Wright? And SkySword missiles look like copies too.

Yes,I have a comment about this aircraft!! Why is this crap permited?......why is it allowed,that other countries can blatantly steal and/or bastardize designs-research-development of other countries?? I'm not talking about this one looks like this one,or, you made yours look just like mine.....I mean period.

Part F-16, part F-18, I prefer the F-16 canopy. The use of a single fin with no ventral finnery begs a question of stability and control authority in high alpha. Can this craft be cranked high AOA without frisbeeing into the mouth of the running dog?
