Small world. I often hear the same thing from my dad who worked on them at Anderson AFB in Guam. Some of the stories he's told me...

The "Y" designation or prefix letter used to denote a pre-production model of the aircraft is what did it for me.

YF-23 - never made the cut

It didn't make the cut because the Air Force went with the more conservative (read less likely to have technology issues in production) of the two.

Saw one of these last week on the way home. If it was a replica it sure had the sound down!

Replica. A real Daytona would have a deeply curved windshield.
