Sorry, buddy. The YF-22 was the prototype designation for the F-22 Raptor. Back then, it was called the Lightning II (The F-35 now holds this name, actually). It was the winning design for the Advanced Tactical Fighter program against the YF-23, waaaaaay back in the early 90s.
While I haven't seen the movie yet, the statue is more than likely representitive of this prototype. It could also be commemorative of the crash of one of the prototypes that occured after the contract was awarded (the pilot survived, though), although I'm unsure if a real statue exists as a memorial to that event, seeing as how no one perished. It's far more likely that it's just a statue representing the prototype in general. Either way, it's more likely it's that than any reference to Macross. Sorry Charlie. Jam it back in, in the dark.  |
