HUH HUH! HUH HUH... Flight of the navigator.

So was this a new experimental plain etc?

It hasnt been lost, its just gone back to its home planet.

See you later navigator!

How does one loose a multi billion pound hypersonic aircraft? Did it fly off the end of the earth or something?

it went so fast it crashed into itself

It was checking out daisies and crashed lol

I heard it leaked lol

lol jack

when light speed according to one Internet boffin!

must be some sort of nerdy joke in there somewhere O_o

I guess youre too young Bubba, as there have been lots so far lol

The '2' isn't technically an aircraft though, its a missile platform isn't it? The 3x was the so called hypersonic aircraft and never got the funding? At least thats what i remember reading a few years back.

Ramjet conversion on the Nova after the v8?

I reckon I could nab the engines from Ark, they're busy stripping it at the mo in Pompey
