A great tour, the best I've seen.
Designed by the Skunkworks. He doesn't mention that, but note the skunk decal on the side of the aircraft. Note the wing leading and trailing edge covers because of their skull-splitting sharp edges. They even pull one of the Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) flight computers and actually demonstrate the blown flaps. M61 (first aircraft to use it) and J79 examined & explained. Only 30 minute fuel duration if on continuous afterburner. The "special weapons" control panel is for nukes.
