Not a fan of the aircraft, but the shots are sweet

The images are nice yes, too bad it costed 1.5 Trillion to take them. But hell, the images are sweet. It was worth it!

No, WILL cost. As of 2015 nowhere near that amount has been spent. Come 2050, perhaps.

The F-23 would've had even more detractors. With all the flak LM is taking lately for the perceived weakness of the F-35's agility, imagine what the more expensive F-23 would've dealt with compared to the F-15C it was to replace. NG's record is hardly stellar compared to LM anyway, the B-2 program was hardly a model in procurement excellence and the Global Hawk has spectacularly failed to be so much cheaper than the U-2 that it replaced them without question.
In a duplicate of the A-10 retirement spectacle, the USAF has now tried and failed more than once to either retire the U-2s or some/all of the Global Hawks because it says it can't afford to run both. Congress won't let them get rid of either.

It looks very friendly, though!
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

It wouldn't have looked like that, though. That was the X-32. This is what the notional F-32 would've looked like:  The Jedi Master

Yes, we could've had the F-32 Fido.
