Today at least 5 Military airplanes flew over my community today within minutes of each other. They were REALLY low flying to. My neighbor said something about F17's to my other neighbor but I really couldn't hear because my dog was going nuts over it. Is there really F17 planes and what do they do? I thought that it was odd for them to all fly over like that for no apparent reason.Is there such thing as an F17 Military Airplane?probably wasn't a F17, might have been F16, F15Is there such thing as an F17 Military Airplane?
there are no planes that are call F17's. When the navy/marines were getting a new plane two manufactures were fitting for the right for the contract. Boeing and Lockheed martin. The F17 was a Lockheed martin plane that didn't get the contract. The Boeing F18 made the contract and that is what the navy uses today. The reason that they were flying over was tranining, if you live by a base that is for the national gaurd or the reserves then they fly alot it is nothing to worry about it is common.Is there such thing as an F17 Military Airplane?YF 17 was a competitor to the F 16. it was later chosen to be developed into the F18, like Paul said.Is there such thing as an F17 Military Airplane?
There is also the F-117 Stealth Fighter, if it was all black then that might have been it. But there are F-14,F-15,F-16, and F-18Is there such thing as an F17 Military Airplane?There is no major fighter called the F-17. There was a YF-17 experimental plane, but I doubt that's what you saw.
The experimental YF-17 Cobra was then upgraded to what is now currently used: the F-18 Hornet. That may have been what you saw. However, there are many other fighters you could have seen as well...
