Talk:F-19

message: I recall that Jane's Information Group was even taken in by the F-19 myth. I've heard that in one of their aircraft books in the mid-80s has a listing for the F-19, along with a picture of the model. --YoungFreud 12:20, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Just my point; the argument is that naming an aircraft F-19 would confuse people is not valid, considering that no other aircraft (eg. F-15, YF-17, F-35) seems to confuse anyone.Bjelleklang 20:57, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

text: Addition: Just came over this: , and it provides a good theory for the missing designations F-112-116. The theory is basically that this was used to conceal the testing of Soviet aircraft, by refering to them by a US model scheme. But still doesn't explain the missing F-19...

message: If there was a top-secret F-19, would they really have been so silly as to leave a hole indicating its existence, rather than give it a totally different name?  Morwen - Talk 12:39, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As someone who once worked in the byzantine bowels of the military-industrial complex, I can say that silliness is entirely possible as an explanation. But it could just as easily have been a deliberate fraud, making the Rooskies spend millions trying to track down info on a nonexistent project. Stan 16:06, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I cleaned up the article, removing speculation and other stuff that did not belong.  This includes links to peoples' modeling sites which don't belong in an article like this. --Chuck Sirloin 14:21, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I was told that the designation "F-19" was temporarily used for the F-111 Aardvaark during it's development.
I was also told that had the X-13 Vertijet gone into production, it would have been the F-13 Fighter.
I heard that the F-21 Aggressor designation was for the IAI Kfir, a modded French Mirage fighter.
The YF-23 Black Widow was supposed to become the F-23 Stealth Advanced Technology Fighter.
I heard the US Navy did not want the number F-17 because it was considered bad luck.
The Ancient Romans believed it to be unlucky like 13 is now.

message: I recall an issue of National Geographic from early '80 or '81 where they published 'blueprints' of the design that later became the Testors F-19 model. I no longer have the issue in question, and I cannot recall if mention is made about where that design originated, but it might be worth tracking down to add to this article.Rickremember (talk) 21:26, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
