A-17/F-121 'Switchblade' speculation

I think it was 'Jose' who mentioned the new Popular Science article about the 'Switchblade' a week or so back on the old forum.

I'd like to throw his subject open to the forum again for anyone who may have any information or credible rumors on this aircraft to pass on some information.

I believe there are too many rumors and sightings around now for this aircraft to just be mere speculation. If the reported dimensions and mission is correct, then it would nicely fill the long range tactical bomber role vacated (and never re-filled) by the retirement of the F-111F in 1997.

Let's hear any thoughts...
