The Royal Air Force still operates 4 engined biz-jets. Is it my go?

Canadair CL-44

Conroy conversion? Either way a freighter.

With very "70s" seats.

Tis indeed a Frightning, but is it a Mk3 or a Mk6?

The Rad Alt makes it a 6 (I don't think the Mk 3 had this late addition)

Looks quite spacious with the seat removed.

Did you spot the other Hawk in Tiger_Mate's piccy?

My God, and I only went to the pub, er, quite some time ago and see how far we've progressed. You'll be teliing me we've abandoned wing-warping, and where's the bit of string gone...?

Jumpseater, I haven't got a clue, but there's an interesting button down on the left hand side that seems to mention things like LOFT, LABS, and apparently "Push to jettison"? WTF, or as the trendy Irish say FCEK?

Tarnished, yes I did spot the other Hawk, but only since you mentioned it!

Jumpseater, Could be wrong but think you're supposed to recognise the next one up before you paste your A-10. Stand to be corrected.

And I haven't pasted an A-10 , its much faster than that!

Think Jumpseater's is an F-4 of some flavour, only based on the AI ball which I remember seeing as an impressionable Cadet Pilot on summer camp in the Wattisham sim. The AI ball was in the sim, the summer camp was on the base as a whole... I knew what I meant...

As for Cringe, no idea except to say I wouldn't fly it there are too many possible warning captions up on the coaming!!

Tarnished is correct, but front or back?

In the interests of tying off loose ends and getting another pic going...

Does Tarnished's response mean that Jumpseater's pic (which has turned into a red X on my machine) was of the back seat of an F-4?

Also, we never did find out what Onan's inflight panel shot was. Maybe two parallel series (to coin a phrase) is a bit confusing.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to Tarnished's pic.
