Very strange!
Source says this pic/painting is from a
1994 publication…
Pretty accurate depiction if true. And, some 5 years
or so (1999) from its actual public debute (TAM Parade) which rumors has
it then that the plane had existed even before then.

Now, if true, where does that leave some
of the crazy depictions we see in the net today? I.e.,
the J-12s, 13s, and 14s? 2010 or earlier?
Hmmm… intriguing revelation.
