there are also no cockpit latches on the underside of the canopy.
maybe its for their space monkeys.

I keep hoping they send Akmedgaveagoatablowjob up into space and it just keeps going.

Is that the back of a Realistic 8 track player I see in last pic above? Oh the memories...

does anyone else find it odd that the stencils are all in english?
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

It looks like it's made with duct tape. Is duct tape stealthy?

Only if you use plenty of it  ;)

Since all of the other fighters the Iranians fly are US-built perhaps they think the signs are magical charms of airworthiness.

Was about to comment on that. I guess they have no issue with satans' language.

I've heard rumours it is a highly modded-up Cessna  ;)

Why would they even bother to produce and display such an obviously fake aircraft?

Isn't English commonly used in aviation, even military aviation? I'm surprised that Iran still uses it, but it's probably a legacy from when the US trained and supplied them.

The stealth fighter reveal was propaganda for domestic Iranian consumption.  It was broadcast live on their state television. 

Keep in mind the Iranian Presidential election is scheduled for 14 June 2013.   Mahmoud Ahmadinejad can't run for a third term.

Who else is in the picture?  A possible successor?

from what Ive read it might be a 3/4 scale UAV for flight testing.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Then why the canopy?

because its a test bed for a full size plane.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

I can't believe the shoddy sheet metal work around the cockpit where the canopy connects to fuselage.

Im guessing thats actualloy fiberglass.  when you look at the top down view of the cockpit thats what the inside looks like.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.
