Aug 26, 2007 - Heh...I noticed that the mockup in this video has a sidestick and no fire handles.

Sep 19, 2007 - i want one of those but it's too expensive!

Nov 11, 2007 - Right. That's my life ambition sorted. Just got to get out of school and into something ridiculously well paid. Any suggestions?
FoxLeaderDesign Says:
Dec 13, 2007 - Lol, I think you're not alone in this situation XD

Dec 31, 2007 - That is a terrific video. Just a mater of time...!!!

Jan 5, 2008 - What a nice clip, which stimulates all my dreams of freedom!
FoxLeaderDesign Says:
Feb 17, 2008 - WHAT? Justify yourself man! That commerical rocks. One of the best ever. Wonderful plane, wonderful images.
FoxLeaderDesign Says:
Feb 17, 2008 - The project has been canceled (developpement halted due to a lack of funds) :(
Snakezhit Says:
Feb 17, 2008 - You must be kidding me
FoxLeaderDesign Says:
Feb 17, 2008 - On what?
Snakezhit Says:
Feb 19, 2008 - On that this commercial is cool and kick ass. It's wonderful plane but somebody who produced this clip raped it with that pilot guy from FAB5 and with stupid blur effects. LOL
Arecibo Says:
Mar 10, 2008 - Completely agree.. that commercial was pretty gay, and from the looks of the pilot, it gives the impression that you have to be a complete douchebag to fly a Javelin. Give me a good ol' T-51 any day of the week.

Mar 12, 2008 - It looks great but nobody will buy one. You can get a used Aero Albatros jet trainer for $300,000; a tenth of the price of one of these. No wonder development halted.

Apr 2, 2008 - I don't understand how this project fell apart. They had more then 150 orders for this plane and somehow no one would fund them. This plane reminds me of the avro arrow all to well. As for the commercial it was good but it could have been better. It's hallarious how they always get these cliche looking clean shaven pilots to do the advertising.

May 27, 2008 - i wonder if the military version of this can be fitted with airforce weapons, and used as an actual fighter jet ?
SlyManPX Says:
Jul 21, 2008 - It will be used as a trainer.
SlyManPX Says:
Jul 21, 2008 - Dream Plane!

Aug 22, 2008 - I remember reading about this, and thinking how jealous I was lol a James Bond movie could surely use one of these...
ClancD Says:
Sep 7, 2008 - It is relatively tame in capability to fighters from 40 years ago. They want to use it as a trainer.
ClancD Says:
Sep 7, 2008 - There was a pretty good amount of orders stacked up. The appeal is you get the fighter aircraft look and performance, but with a pressurized cockpit and leather seats... An aerobatic executive jet.
glamterra Says:
Jan 4, 2009 - i think th4e buisness man is only an fs pilot. aerobatics, pfft...

Aug 25, 2007 - The Javelin in this video is a mockup, and that is highway 85 through Castlewood Canyon the Mercedes is on. The first guy to turn his head in the video, when the Mercedes shows up on the Signature ramp at KAPA, is the L-39 chase pilot, Kirk "Killer" Kalstaad. He's a cool guy, a former US Navy threat simulator pilot.
