F-19 Ghostrider

 

F-19 Ghostrider (4 Kb)Playing a part in Red Storm Rising, the F-19 certainly served as a prototype for the following generation of stealth fighters. In 1989, I bought a game for my PC, it was F-19 Stealth Fighter from Microprose; in the manual, there was an aircraft's drawing. Though it was a single seat-aircraft in the game, I think the F-19 might have looked like that. I've recopied the technical sheet from the manual:
