It looks like you are correct Tack. Do you have a challenge or do you want to declare Open house (when the time comes)?

The bulging thing under the cockpit, well, I suppose yes, as Recon was to be one of the main goals of this thingy...

I did not hope this one to last so long, mainly because I ran into it literally dozens of times yesterday while looking for Reg's "agricultural hovercraft"...
However it was too similar to a Tomcat not to try and put it to the test...
Reg, you asked me about the wrong bump... had you asked for the other one I would have said it was a "step"...

Noyade has control!

Thanks HP!

I was thinking X-21 like Martin, then Grumman Model 303 and even the Su-24.

Anyway, here's an easy one...

Reg, you asked me about the wrong bump...
And not only that - I thought was a twin with propellers until I saw the antenna .

Graeme's is an artist's view (his) of a piccie in Aerofiles, an aircraft with world's shortest wings. Completely weird for Yanks who always want to have the biggest in the world, starting from federal debt.
