The LOOTM (pronounced LOOT-em or LOOT-um) is the Lust Object Of The Month. It is simply our current aircraft infatuation. Since it's an "Object," it has to be inanimate (though one could argue that aircraft come alive for us), and has to be special in some way. It is only our opinion, and is completely subjective, so any argument, while perhaps amusing, will not really sway the decision. Thanks, and enjoy.
The LOOTM for February is a joint Chinese/Pakistani aircraft that looks like the offsrping of an F-5 and an F-16, the JF-17 "Thunder"/FC-1 "Xioalong" (Fierce Dragon--gotta love the names the Chinese give their fighters!). While it may prove to be an adversary that will bear watching in the future, for now it's just a cool airplane.

The JF-17/FC-1 is about 49' long, has a 31' wingspan and approaches the magical 1:1 thrust-to-weight ratio.
