Crash Dummie, please note you can post more than one image per post (up to 8 in fact, just click on "more attachments") so please don't make so many individual posts. Also note the last image you posted is not a book but a dvd which is well known here, and which we have discussed previously.

Seen of course. Once more, I have all the photos one could find on the net for the last 10+ years. No need to repost them here. Please.

This GoogleMap link was posted here more than a year ago, so we have seen it - as well as current PAV-2 storage, too. Just in case.

If you have *original* Northrop-issued printed photos, and can scan them, it can be totally different case.

I think there's not so many high resolution scans of original prints on the internet. Please read the original request.

 

[donnage99]

Are these ok? I searched using google images, but set the setting on extra large.

http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,6165.0.html

Otherwise, I think it will be your last day at the forum in any form of existence

Thank you.

There is YF-23 manual with clearly aircraft and it's operating description, i posted it previously. :

 

[flateric]

thank you

[Steve Pace]

Here's one you may not have seen before...

 

[flateric]

oh, Steve, I have even two from a series shot...thanks anyway!

 

[InvisibleDefender]

flateric - do you have these? I can't remember where I got them...

 

[flateric]

yes - and some of them definitely got from you before
anyway, bunch of thanks!

 

[flanker]

I havent seen any of these shots before, so a huge huge thanks!

 

[Trident]

I second that, the afterburner shot is too cool!

 

[flanker]

I have noticed that an ebay user "70valkyrie" have posted some YF-23 pics i havent seen before on ebay. Is this previously "unknown" shot? (and some of his other pics for that matter)

http://cgi.ebay.com/8x10-photo-Northrop-YF-23-87-800-aft-view-landing-/290510056634?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43a3bfacba

Haven't seen them before, but then again it doesn't mean they have never been seen anywhere...
Anyway, that "70valkyrie" guy is a fool, calling the Lockheed Cheyenne the "AH-64" on two pictures! Probably sells stuff he doesn't even know about...

 

[aim9xray]

Well, I can't account for the Cheyenne gaffe, but the seller works in the industry, and I daresay that you may have more than a few books and magazines illustrated with photos from his collection.

 

[flateric]

Before telling that someone is fool - even if he has done something not correct - please think twice. Guy is Terry Panopalis, btw.

 

[Stargazer]

There are so many conmen selling stuff they don't even know about, guys that cut out books to sell the pages framed separately and all these disgusting things, that when I see a guy on eBay selling a pic of the "AH-64 Cheyenne" I can but call him a fool. I am not supposed to know who he is...

 

[Bill Walker]

I'm not sure if this is the best thread for this, Mods feel free to move this.

From a spotting blog, the following information from FAA registry, registrations cancelled on 9 August 2013 include:

N231YF NORTHROP YF-23A (YF) 1001 SALE REPORTED
N232YF NORTHROP YF-23A (YF) 1002 SALE REPORTED

 

[Deino]

at least a new image for me !

 

[JimK]

I realize what is desired here are scans of original flight test photos. However, this is an "official" photo of YF-23, PAV2, after reconditioning at Northrop Grumman's El Segundo facility. (I call it "reconditioning" rather than "restoration" as the GE F120 engines were not installed and aircraft without their engines are lifeless husks.) I don't think this is out on the Internet, yet. At least a cursory search of 11 or 12 pages of Google images didn't find it.
