    Watched it last Saturday, best movie I’ve seen in years. Can’t wait for it to drop on Blu-Ray.

    I *think Israel flies a 2-seat variant, but that's it. I am not sure of it is purchased like that or modified after purchase; also not sure if it was a test AC or an operational AC. I had to google to find out. There are a few pics out there.

    I know they were talking about it, but you'd need almost an entire new forward-fuselage unit.

    There isn’t currently a two seat variant, the pics out in the wild are probably photoshopped. Israel has been pushing Lockmart to build a two seater but so far no...

    Honestly by the time Israeli engineers could modify one of their own into a two seater, technology will probably exist on an updated airframe making a second pilot pointless.

    The plane already has amazing capabilities as it is, combining it with the loyal wingman program makes more sense.
