The VISTA aircraft was equipped with the special afterburner nozzle that can move up to 17 degrees off center. Transient angles of attack reached up to 180 degrees allowing the jet to actually fly backwards for a small period of time.

Tsang Hong Kong, China, OTH
This is the VISTA/MATV aircraft. This program mustve had something to do with the F-22A Raptor.
This aircraft is flawless, sublime. They should use the aircraft's components for other f-16s and f-15s 04/08/2004 @ 04:19 [ref: 7174]
