The F-52 Fighter - Trump's Stealth Jet

          Trump Sells Norway a Pig-in-a-Poke

It took some time to research, almost a week, to find Trump’s F-52 fighter jet that he claims the U.S. sold to the Norwegians. I consulted two friends I know who work in defense industries for our nation’s military, and one who is in the air force, and all three of them assured me the aircraft does "exist" (and they used air quotes when they said it)...in the mind of a feeble, poorly-educated, draft-dodging clown who attained the highest office in the land thanks to the aid of Russia. It apparently has replaced almost all F-16 Fighting Falcons and about a quarter of the F-22 Raptors in our arsenal. Training is currently being carried out at Elgin Air Force Base near Fort Walton Beach in the Florida Panhandle.

          I was told in a tongue-in-cheek manner that the F-52 is referred to as the “Cheshire Cat.” Needless to say, specs on the machine are classified but it definitely is a stealth aircraft… SO stealth, no one’s seen it, not even the Norwegians who Trump seems to think were gullible enough to buy a fleet of them from the U.S. That same rumor-mill states that the check for the F-52s was made out to a "well-known Amerikan" and issued through Deutsche Bank.

          I was advised where I might be able to take some pictures of the F-52 Cheshire Cat, from an unobtrusive place near Cobb’s Overrun at the southeastern end of the runway at Eglin, so here are some that I snapped last week…Notice how light wraps around them so well that they are almost impossible to see…The first picture is a comparison shot of the F-52 to a standard truck…

…here are four of them being readied for flight… and the first one preparing to take off… 

…a selection of them flying overhead, in a finger-four formation, and doing a low-level pass just offshore…

For the record, Norway did buy F-35 aircraft, but everyone from Prime Minister Solberg down to airman third class Per Arne Værnes at Bodø Main Air Station says that is all they bought. Trump’s announcement about the Norwegians purchasing F-52 Cheshire Cats is met with understandable derision.

When I asked Google Home to show me a picture of Trump’s F-52, this is what it found, after checking with Siri and Alexa first.
