Bill, kudos to you for, once again, getting a great catch at TIA. I do not even get those looks at Willie with these guys.

^^^^ Heck of a catch Bill. Wondered if they'd be flying the Scorpion ever since Chris Janes gave us the "heads-up". Scott Youmans and I were talking about this aircraft earlier in the week. Apparently, there are concerns that having the engine intakes in their current location behind the leading edge of the wing could inhibit optimal aerodynamic performance. I'm not sure who the ultimate user/customer will be for this platform, but the rear set would be a great location for some A2A photography. Part of me expects that wing to sweep back like the F-14
