MABB v6.6.6

The F-16 Fighting Falcon is called a "Viper" because of Battlestar Galactica (the main fighter ships on both versions of the show are referred to as Vipers).



Its successor, the F-22A, is called a Raptor. Anyone know if this so because of Battlestar Galactica's other small ship, the Colonial Raptor (though that is thought of more in the likeness of an SH-60 Seahawk)?

Which won't be made because its "too advanced".

Translation: will be made, but we won't tell you about it.

The F-22? We already have them.



First flight YF-22: 29 September 1990, F-22: 7 September 1997
