My wife got me this for a stocking stuffer.
Pretty damn cool, considering I've flown this exact tail. The company has these from a lot of different aircraft. Sadly, there aren't any UAL 737's-- I would have snapped up one of those as well. R.

A new Chinese 6th generation fighter -- the Shenyang J-XD2 -- has flown for the first time. It may be an unmanned aircraft. It certainly has an unusual layout, with lots of wing area.

451 was going to be the display bird at Travis if memory serves me. Did a Westover Non M crew fly it DM to get chopped up? I was on last B Model flight out of Dover shortly before I retired in Feb 17 due to could not pass the hearing anymore. TF-39's and APU and lawn darts when I worked as a contractor.

In 2011, U.S. Navy aviation celebrated its centennial with a number of aircraft that were painted in legacy colors. Only aircraft that were not deployable were to be painted, which resulted in a number of training and test aircraft wearing historical schemes.
As the training squadron for electronic attack aircraft, VAQ-129 at NAS Whidbey Island, Washington, was one of the units that featured historical paint jobs. In the foreground is an EA-6B Prowler with markings similar to those of early 1942, while the EA-18G in the background is painted up in 1945 colors.
