I should post here more often as I saw this item yesterday too.
I half expected the Darkstar to have gone black as it was such a potentially useful design.
We may have got a clue back in the 2001 when Bill Sweetman reported in 'Interavia' (June), that Boeing used its 737 AFL as a JSF surrogate and guided an F-15 to drop a JDAM on a target.

The interesting thing was the target was located by a platform Boeing refused to identify except to say it was a wide area surveillance plane.
Could it have been this 'super darkstar'?.

With the globalhawk being pretty costly and few in number and the Predator B looking good, I wonder if the super darkstar/predator B combo will get the go ahead if the globalhawks costs force it to be axed?.

regards from Australia.
