What vehicle is that from?  Agree, alcantara has no place on a car that will be repeatedly touched by parts of the body the excrete oil

Read the last paragraph. VFA-147 does not become operational until 2021. This article is 4 days old.  https://thediplomat.com/2019/12/us-navy-christens-second-ford-class-carrier-john-f-kennedy/

Keyword being “eventually”. They won’t be an “operational aircraft” for the Navy until 2021.

I saw it as a modern interpretation of the SR-71.

GM is having a tough enough time moving the Camaro so they wouldn’t bother trying to revive the Grand National. There are decent originals that can be had for under 20K.

Why are the cameraman and boom guy there?

By a factor of 20 at least.

There is still an active alpine slide at Attitash Ski Resort in Conway, New Hampshire. Busted my ass on it a couple of years ago...twice. Still have scars from the epic road rash.
