Yes, but you need to have decent control in pitch, yaw, and roll to count it as flying.

#2 is the Northrop NATF-23, made during the ATF competition in the 90s. So it’s the other way around.

Well, they did predict correctly about the oncoming ‘turbulence’ for the F-35. You can give them that.

#2 is the NATF-23, the F-23’s naval counterpart. You can see the label, “U.S. Navy Advanced Tactical Fighter”.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the only change to the X-35 was converting the X-35A to the X-35B.

Early F-15As were. IIRC, it had problems with the F100 engine and airframe stresses.

These guys deserve honorable mentions, if not the top 3:

Huh, I wonder why the comments section of this video got disabled...

I don’t know who this guy with the scar is, but he looks disappointing.

I just learned of this in Death Battle. That damned rich-ass bastard!

You could say that, but to fly is to move through air with extensive control. Jumping is to push oneself off a surface and into the air. Can you really say the this G-Wagen is capable of moving through air with extensive control as, for example, an F-22 or a PAK FA?

It’s not everyday that you see an A-10 smack an AT-AT down with relative ease, whereas Snowspeeders have to go around the thing for a while.

I’m fairly - no, certainly sure that it is simply jumping.

Huh, strange. It must be the angle the picture has. Still, I find the the F-35 to be the lesser of two evils.

Dammit, Navy! Why do you have to kill off such a beautiful and capable aircraft?

Mmm, that Rapier lookin’ mighty fine!

Also, an aircraft from the same company that was inspired by Tacit Blue, the YF-23/F-23A

Mmm, armed Blackbirds.

That’s a plane/plane prototype?

We’d be in a worse situation, I would assume. I don’t see a good internal gun placement or a decently-spacious internal weapons bay.
