I hate the cost, but certainly a cool concept. An even better concept is a seaplane version that can be deployed from amphibs or barges. On Wed, May 13, 2026 at 2:12 PM Harold Brattland <habrattland@arvig.net> wrote:

We need to realize the Q-35 is the closest to operational, but a larger program, primarily AF, has three other Qs competing technology to CCA program....wingman for single fighter managed combat. It is going to be quite growth spurt for your Air boss to line up four Qs for launch and a fighter with the person in it to catch up to his four Q birds!! And they all get tanked up off the tanker Q-35 launched first!! "How do you like them apples!!" 🙂 h On 5/13/2026 14:39, Brian Miller wrote:
