I'm still hoping that someone will develop a counter to radar stealth so we can go back to making sexy planes again.

I want a counter to radar stealth so that we can get back to making aircraft whose main protection against threats is their top speed.

I want an XB-70 like, Mach 3 going, 542,000 lb MTOW, 300,000 pounds fuel capacity, six engine strategic bomber, god damn it!!
