By the time you read this, this thing may have already successfully trapped on the carrier deck. It's already done all the other parts, launch, low approaches and carrier touch and go landings.
Here's a video of it doing approaches and TNG's.

And THIS picture looks like something out of a science fiction documentary from 20 years ago, it's most definitely real!

Now that beats the paints of the F-35!
And we can do it all from our family room without breaking a sweat.

Never thought I would see it when I was standing on deck. Guess my buds still in the SAR business will not have to work so hard now. Still a very dynamic environment, stormy seas and trying to bring that thing aboard at night!

The key question is will it be able to get FS9 AI to perform run and breaks, or even paint tiger stripes on an F-16?

I'm certain it would judge the FS9 AI engine far inferior to its own self.......

It just trapped on board the USS Bush this afternoon for the first time. Should get some video by the end of the day.
SkyNet, here we come!
