In a couple of years, when the aircraft have gone past development into initial low-rate production, I am willing to bet a very large number of people will be surprised by how good the VLO of the T-50 is.
we'll see....
The aircraft is tilted because that way its wingspan is reduced and it can fit in a motorway safely.
I don't think it has crashed or anything. I think it might be a legitimate prototype.
The canopy is also missing ofcourse. perhaps it is not even at flying stage so the cockpit may not yet be...
It is arrogant, never said it wasn't. I believe justifiably so. At the end of the day, it is just a point of view based on things that are really irrelevant to this discussion. You feel different, it is your prerogative.

in terms of what?
performance
