No offense to women, but I find it hard to believe that a brand new, unreleased airplane would be flown by a woman in a male dominated navy and air force. I mean no offense by this, it just seems odd. And if this was a cruise bomber/ stealth bomber, wouldnt the pilot need somewhere to move around, and perhaps another pilot? That looks likea very small cockpit for a long flight.

Define long flight. Fighter pilots are up the air 8+ hours at a time on occasion.

Man people, read the thread. Yes the shots are real, but no it's not a real plane. It's a prop plane for a movie fliming called Stealth, staring, you guessed it, Jessica Biel.

After the annoying snopes link, I couldn't bring myself to read the entire thread. I never realizes snopes was so horrid until I had to experience it using IE. :(

I mean like 24 hour flights. The ones they do to simulate a nuclear bomb drop at any location on earth randomly, to act out a retaliation.

Ah, I don't know about 24 hours, that would blow, haha. My dad has as much as 12 at a time, but that was very rare.

Women pilots>Male pilots. The Navy and Air Force have known this for a long, long time.

They're smaller, more compact, which makes them able to sustain more g-forces. Better hand-eye coordination. Often times better vision. Able to make split-second decisions quickly and easily.

hmm not only are you sexist but you are stupid also.

During WWII one of Germany's best test pilots was female. Not to mention there was many more then just her.

Not to mention some of the Pilots for NASA shuttle are female (which they also are test pilots)
