    Yeah, I was very suspect of the droop nose and the big windshield
myself. Not only that, why in the world would this "pilot" have her name on
the side of a prototype and why doesn't it have the usual twelve foot tall
letters of the model number (YF/A-37)? Forward swept elevons? I don't think
so. The clincher was the bottom pic with the guys in the foreground manning
a big movie camera.  Mike C.
