Weatherhawk

by Herbert Crowder

Ex-fighter pilot Mark Muldoon is operations manager at the aeronautics corporation bidding for a top-secret new government plane, the F-22 Weatherhawk. JAWS, a revolutionary radar processing unit that it seems half the world will beg, borrow, steal, - and kill - for, is the key to getting the contract.

When the JAWS prototype is stolen in midair, Mark and his colleagues at Hearst Avionics are thrust into the violence and intrigue caused by the many factions trying to retrieve it.

An excellent read!

Hasn't aged well. The technology has moved on from using credit cards at public phones and we now have the F-35 rather than the F-22... The plot and some of the characters doesn't ring true for me.

Okay read. Developed slowly, but had a good ending.
