I'm not normally an aircraft guy, but I ran across this link on another site. Has anyone seen this before?

Hi Pipesmoker, that is one awsome 'plane. I wonder if it would ever get into production? I imagine the cost would be enormous. It would certainly be THE multirole warplane.

Brandy,
Actually, the poster who gave the link said he had seen the aircraft in Norfolk, Virginia when the "Theodore Roosevelt" carrier battle group returned. So some must be flying. I haven't
heard any thing on the news, however, about a new aircraft.
