Oh my goodness! I hadn't seen that!

It's funny, I remember seeing an article in Popular Science or Mechanics, 
can't remember which, that was talking about this aircraft. Of course, at 
the time no-one knew what it was, but they had the patch (the only reason I 
knew they were talking about the same aircraft). And there had of course 
been many sightings. It's too bad, though, the airplane that popsci/mech was 
showing before it was revealed was pretty dang cool. Variable forward-swept 
wings! A pretty neat concept. Hopefully it will be made someday.

By the way,

Why has no one commented on the "just unvieled" Boeing BIRD OF PREY secret
aircraft?
I was sent a link to it today and somehow missed its unvieling on TV.
Totally odd bird, I know its basicly just an earlier manned version of the
X-45 UCV but its kinda cool looking.
Has a Stencel Ejection Seat in it.

Chris
