In 1992, A battle took place between two stealth demonstrators, the YF-22 Lightning II(which became the F-22) and the YF-23 Black Widow II. I wanted to make the successor of the YF-23 and here it is.
Mock up of the F-23 at ''gray butte'' test facility in the middle of the desert.
NATF came out, download it here

F-23A Gray Ghost
@BlackWidowSquadron never mind I looked it up you’re right
@ProudWisper2 Not the f-22, the YF-22 is also called the lightning ii
The lightning ll is the f-35 not the f-22
Such a smooth appearance. Too bad I can’t replicate that…
@CodenameOnager Because the name is already in use by the YF-23.
@BlackWidowSquadron Understood, It’s slight shame the name wouldn’t be kept
@CodenameOnager The YF-23 was called the Black Widow II, this isnt the YF-23. This is the production variant called the F-23. Only one Mock-UP was made nicknamed the widowmaker. The YF-23 has a Y in his name that stands for prototype. This is his succesor. The F-22 had a prototype too called the YF-22.
It is not called the widow maker, that’s a F-104 nickname, it is called the Black widow two after the P-61 Black Widow, one of the first planes to have onboard radar.
NATF-23 INCOMING!!!
