New F-35 (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/xplanes/)

vertical take off to surpersonic to vertical landing ...

I'm not a fighter plane kinda guy, but this is impressive. 28,000 lbs, can take off from a 12' square piece of concrete with no damage to the surface, and no chance of flashback...

I want one when I get to be a rich designer, and own my own little ranch up in Sebastopol, with dogs, and stuff... that way, I can get to The City, land in the backyard of my "City Home" , where I store my **insert car here** , to use in town...

RB:

even when you can go from over 700 mph to 0 mph in less than 10 sec... and from 0-700 in less than 7? and you can land on your neighbor's lanai... They say this thing flies like a luxury car cruises a freeway...

well, if they can shoot at more than 700 mph accurately, then they have a chance of getting through my "armor" ...
