Is it that big a change, Mike?

Only if you consider Jet engines a "Big Change"

Wow! I saw one of these testing at a Navy base in California last year. I really didn't think it would be ready for Deploying yet!!!

Hmmm... at first glance I thought it was an F-22!

At least you don't have to worry about the oxy system on this one.

Speaking of that, here's the Accident Investigation Board's final report on the Elmendorf F-22A crash from 2010: F-22 Crash
Very sad, sounds like he got disoriented at night, while wearing NVG's and trying to deal with a bleed air leak that cut off his O2 supply. He hit the ground going M1.35 with a rate of decent of nearly 60,000 feet per minute. He was one of their best pilots according to his peers.

I hope the avionics are more robust than the UAV in Iran, or at least have a self destruct plan hard wired
