Thacker) Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 11 Approved: military@att.att.com From: Allan Bourdius It's always been my theory that the design that appeared as Testor's "F-19 Steath Fighter" model was one that was leaked by DOD or the USAF to disguise the actual apperance of the real aircraft. I think it's more likely that the real F-19 was an experimental project that was never purchased/completed. Things like that have been done before--the F-17 turned out to be the prototype for the F-18. --Allan
