    Real Plane?

    I used to have this plane as a toy (Micro Machines), but I've seen it in a movie here and there as well, but I can't say I know if it's a real plane or not.

    Anyone have any more info or am I wasting my time?

    Maybe it's this one you're thinking of?

    It's a movie prop...




    At least that's what they want you to think...

    This photo reminds me of the Stealth Fighter model that Testors put out in the mid-80's. Have a look:

    That's the one. The plane also acts as a refueling aircraft for helicopters in the Nintendo game "Twin Eagle".

    Wasn't that what we were calling the F-19 to tell the Soviets that we had a stealth fighter and something to fill the gap between the F-18 and the F-20? This was, of course, before we acknowledged the existence of the F-117
