So the TA-4 Skyhawk just did a low pass and left? That's a shame. It looks like it might have been N234LT... which is the only airworthy green TA-4 that I know of.
Can you tell me why757 Test bed a Resembles a hammer Shark hammerhead shark? I know it’s a Test bed but it looks like designers were Cartoon Shark fans
@@juanmanuelventura8203 the sign in front of the aircraft said this: "It's unique appearance results from the incorporation of external elements of the F-22's capabilities, including its nose shroud, the sensor wing mounted atop the crown of the aircraft, and the chin pod". The F-22 wing appears to have sensors built into the leading edge, so this testbed needed to be able to test it.
Sure. The A (USAF) has short wings, the B (USMC) has a short wings and a hump behind the cockpit and the C (USN) has long wings and carrier strength landing gear with two front wheels.
@@wingwatchersaviation the most visible difference is the gun fairing on top of the left wing root. Only the A-model has an internal gun. The B-model has a wider "neck" behind the cockpit to fit the lifting fan for those vertical landings, while the carrier based C-model has a much larger wing and heavy duty landing gear with twin nose wheels. The B and C can be fitted with a gun pod underneath if it is a mission requirement. 👍

Yes it did, it was escorting the F-15. I believe it is owned by Boeing. Not sure about that though.
Yes, you are correct. That is one of Boeing's Chase planes from the Kansas City plant.
@@wingwatchersaviation You are correct, it is also used by boeing to take videos of the new t7a red hawk from lambert.

Boeing FTB: Nice hat!
🤣🤣
First time seeing a hammerhead airplane.
🤣🤣Yep, that is a test bed for Boeing.
Nice Camera work 😊 UK.
@daviddarrall9384 Thank you, and thanks for the support!
Thanks for letting me stand on your tailgate lol
@dawsonisabozo You're welcome. 😁 That was the best time I've ever had on arrival day.
@@wingwatchersaviation looking forward to more vids from you, great vid btw
@19:12 This aircraft was used to help develop the F22,
@@Mutlap It sure was.
F-35A to be exact. Can you tell the obvious difference?
I've not seen them that often, nor looked at them that closely. But I'm curious, how do you tell the difference?
Sure. The A (USAF) has short wings, the B (USMC) has a short wings and a hump behind the cockpit and the C (USN) has long wings and carrier strength landing gear with two front wheels.

The F-15EX is actually An F-15QA
Pretty much..
F-15QA. F-15EX. What's the difference? Quatar Air Force. EX U.S. Air Force?
@robertholland5771 I think there might be some differences in avionics.
