    Reminded me as a kid making drawings and design ideas of small arms weapons. Then in 1995 I got to meet the inventor of the M16, Eugene Stoner who was looking over my shoulder as I was sharing some design ideas with another arms engineer. I still have some of my design sketches and even some of my design suggestions have been put into production for the military. It's awesome for his parents to get to see the bright genius of their son and his ideas, and what a wonderful way for them to share in such a lifetime of memories they shall never forget!

    What an awesome story! Bravo Zulu to Nathan for his passion, his parents for their encouragement, and NAWCAD for providing next-level inspiration. I can just imagine the fun the team had compiling the F-43 GOSHAWK NATOPS.

    Now that design looks stealth... What would be a better honor for that kid if that plane design would be used for future jets.

    Ends up being a 7th gen stealth fighter or something, space worthy.

    I think more critical thought went into that design than the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter

    There is hope in our youth and senior military leaders this was a great video. Hopefully they didn't make him choose his pronouns before he left.
