Ugly but cool at the same time. It looks effective.

Thanks for the video!

Nope, an F-16.

Kinda neat...I like all the little flags on the side of the intake, but they aren't going to keep that there...are they?:|

Still kind of ugly, its like a little chubby kid, but if I ever get a chance to fly one, I'll be very lucky! I'd like to see the Marine version!:)

It did, but as I continued to watch the clip it displayed a better view of the planes and I immediately noticed they were F-16s and edited my post.

Just imagine if the X-32 had won.
