New Airplane for the Navy or Hollywood Prop???

I just got these pics from my dad with the designator as f/A 37 Prototype plane. They were supposedly checking the plane for carrier fittings, or some such.

Anyone in HAB or military inclined that would be able to determine if this plane is the real deal or just some sort of hollywood prop.

Fucking ancient as all hell. There was a thread on this about a month or two back. Movie prop.

This is old. There is a thread somewhere around here, possibly in HAB, where I point out God knows how many things wrong with that picture. And I think I remember also going into a fairly lengthly discussion as to why the movie is gonna suck due to the plot mechanisms being utter bullshit.

And the real A-37 looks like this.

I doubt that thing would even fly. You really had to ask?
