This is actually the YF-23A PAV-2 "Ghost" prototype (reg.# N232YF), one of two tested during the ATF contest. Dead giveaways are the light gray paint job and the serial number 87-801. YF-23A PAV-1 "Spider" (N231YF) had the S/N 87-800, a dark blue paintjob and is currently on display at the USAF museum in Dayton, OH. And, yes, I know the V-tail on the PAV-2 says "YF-23", but the prototypes are officially type-classified as "YF-23A".

The design was decades ahead of its time, hats off to the engineers who built it. Fortunately, it looks like 6th gen aircraft might borrow heavily from this design, so we might get to see something similar fly again.

@@ppvk2610 How do you know is was "superb" ? I worked at Northrop at the time. It was a prototype, not close to superb, but never had the chance to be developed because of politics. Do I think it could have been developed on time and on budget? Probably not, but certainly had the potential to develop much quicker than Lockhead's ATF at the time. We'll never know, and all we can do is speculate.

In general, the sleeker the jet fighter, the more likely it will win in battle. This was proven in Vietnam when the North Vietnamese flew the small and sleek MiG-21 while U.S. pilots flew the stubby F-4 Phantom. Guess how many Aces North Vietnam had compared to the U.S.? North Vietnam: 19 U.S.: 5 Fast forward to today, if the F-23 is produced, it will kick every one of our adversaries' buttock!

I would love to see about 300 million spent to actually bring both prototypes back to life with new engines, avionics, stealth coatings and weapons systems, and make it as modern as possible. And make it an actual F-23 and not YF. There would only be two of them but make them operational.

That's an actual airplane that actually flew. The plane seen here is 87-0801, a/k/a "Grey Ghost," the second YF-23 prototype. It had more mechanical problems than its stablemate (87-0800, a/k/a "Black Widow II") due to the advanced and experimental (and thus problematic) YF120 combined-cycle engines, versus Black Widow II's YF119 engines, which were essentially an uprated F100. The winning aircraft-engine combination was embodied in 87-0701, FAA registered as N22YX, the YF-22 prototype combined with the YF119 engine. So it's a real plane, just not one that was chosen for mass production.

I really wish CONgress would understand Aviation enough to understand that putting all of your eggs in one basket (obtaining only one aircraft type) is a false economy. Look at the F-35, over budget, blew every delivery date, still has teething issues. Some aircraft you cannot see the long term issues that may end an aircraft type/model/series life prematurely. Too many limitations are ignored with "we'll figure it out later" and "ignore it, its not a problem, I say so!". Look at the late 40s thru the mid-70s, a lot of aircraft were the new hotness and then... like the F-7 Cutlass, was a danger to operate in the environment it was intended for, and some were just a danger all around like the Goblin that never finished its preliminary flight tests.

Funny thing to say here, because the YF-23 was the more plague-ridden aircraft in the ATF competition: the YF-22 won because it already had all of its affairs in order, and even that took a while to get into shape. Also, if you think the F-35 had issues, its competitor the X-32 would've been worse in terms of what they'd have needed to change just to get it operational.
