Yeah been aroubd for a while. Idea of it being a training exercise seems a bit iffy though. No-one is going to wreck a (IIRC) $180,000 canopy and cause that sort of clean up/repair job in a cockpit for training purposes (especially not with a live pilot inside!)

Of course, it took 5 hours before the fireguard succeeded in locating the invisible stealth aircraft!

 

Wonder how they did that! :)

They used russian anti-stealth aircraft technology based in positronic matrix cronothon detectors!
