Are you refering to the Lockheed F-117A or the B2 or are you looking for a specific paint?
There are representations of both in downloads http://www.simviation.com/downloads.html
Choose which Sim (there's FS Military sections and the CFS link is further down the page), then click on the search to save sifting through pages -- unless you'd rather browse. ;) 8)

The plane he is talking about is a fictional movie aircraft.

I have not seen stealth, and don't plan on it. Iron Eagle, Flight of the Intruder and Strategic Air Command are still my favorite military aviation movies (regardless of the hokeyness of Iron Eagle, I still love it).

well, you're really missing out an a very good movie!  the movie is better than the previews.  the previews were a little misleading because they didn't want to give away the goodness of the movie.  if you haven't seen it, it's out on DVD now.

if i have to learn how to make planes for FS2004 myself just to be able to fly the planes that were in "Stealth", then i guess that's what i will have to do.

I think the Aircraft in the movie he is talking about is the switchblade.

the Talon jet in "Stealth" is comparable to the Switchblade, but being that "Stealth" is set in the near future, the Talon is a little more advanced and has different/better engines.

Good god, that movie was terrible. I saw it on virtue of the previews alone, despite my better judgement, and by the halfway point in the movie I was having to keep myself not only awake but *alive*.

The plane was *neat*, I guess, and it looked sorta neat... But how would you model it? Judging by the crap they pulled in the movie, it has no design limitations, at all. I also suspect no human could adequetly control it, given the way it performed in the movie.

Anything with Jessica Alba not half naked in it isn't good. :P

I read the reviews.  It sounds even worse than Iron Eagle - and that's bad!

I checked out that switchblade link - "When the wings are swept fully forward, the trailing edge of the wing becomes the leading edge, and the aircraft turns into a delta shape perfect for dashing away at speeds up to Mach 3."  Bwaaahahahahahahaha!!!!

I doubt I'll even watch it when it comes to TV.

I dont know what your talking about, I thought the movie sucked.  It made no sense, especially in aircraft design.

If you really want a 'talon' get yourself a tomcat, much better looking, and alot better plane overall

The switchblade had very little to do with the plane you saw in the movie, actually.

That said, there have been a lot of "made no sense" aircraft built throughout the ages.

We call them failures.

At best, we call them exotic, novel, or collectors items.

well, not sure how you can say that unless you made the movie.  the F/A-37 and Switchblade are pretty similar in design, so it's safe to assume the F/A-37 design was taken from the Switchblade.  unless you can prove me wrong......

Uh...guys? That's not Jessica Alba in Stealth, it's Jessica Biel (Much hotter.) The movie was ok for it's kind. I couldn't get passed the "Guided" 20MM ammo in Iron Eagle. I don't think they've quite been able to make it possible to "lock on" with a vulcan.

I have a bad habit of watching anything they do weapon wise on aircraft in movies since it's what I did for 9 1/2 years.
