Carrier Pictures of
a New Navy Fighter Plane-Fiction!
Summary of the eRumor Pictures of a stealth
looking jet on the deck of an aircraft carrier.
The caption says it's a new plane known as the F/A-37.
It also shows the pilot, an attractive female whose name is written
on the side of the cockpit.
The Truth
These are not stealth photos of a new
military stealth fighter but are pictures from the filming of a new
Hollywood movie titled Stealth.
Lt. Kara Wade is a character in the film and is played by actress
Jessica Biel.
The plane in the photos is a prop made for the film.
According to the U.S. Navy, the pictures were taken aboard the U.S.S.
Abraham Lincoln during a stopover in San Diego in 2004.
Note the camera crew in one of the shots.
The pictures were taken by a U.S. Navy photographer.

A real example of the eRumor as it has
appeared on the Internet:
This picture is still officially the Air Vehicle Number
1, a prototype, onboard the USS George Washington CVN-73 for catapult
fit checks. Not exactly still Top Secret but certainly not yet made
public. It will be known as the F/A-37. Although specs are classified,
it is believed to be Mach 3.5 (top speed in the Mach 4 range),
super-cruise stealth fighter/bomber/interceptor with approximately a
4,000nm range. Awesome!

F/A-37...LT Kara Wade... go girl
