no surprise, aren't stealth airframes inherently unstable in flight?

If the camera was stoned I don't even want to know what drugs some of the people commenting on it were on! WTF? Dain Bramage, ignorance, or just plain stupidity?

You can see them eject right before it goes in.

I know, I read those. It just makes my blood pressure rise for the most part. I have no clue what is so wrong with people today.

Yes, but that had nothing to do with this crash. The computer evidently got some moisture in it, causing it to malfunction. The computer flys these things, the pilots just steer for the most part. A big rudder would have helped the last issue right before the crash though.:biggthumpup:

thats what i meant, that if the computer fails that it would be difficult if not impossible to manually fly a stealth aircraft
