  1. Best and second best.

    No points for guessing which one we bought.

  2. Should have been the one selected. Had a number of highly advanced features only now are being employed in other aircraft. The flight controls alone had so much flight authority vectored thrust was not required. The SU-57 Felon uses a few YF-23 attributes, though done Russian engineering style.

  3. Japan asked McDonald Douglas for the YF-23 test bird, and its blueprints, for their own design replacement for the F-15. Paid handsomely for it, IIRC.
