Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge

[Asturias56]

nad the plane is an IMPA Tu-Sa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMPA_Tu-Sa

"In service, the aircraft demonstrated a number of serious and fundamental design flaws that led to a series of accidents and pilots joking that Tu-Sa stood for Todo Un Sarcófago Aéreo ("Altogether an aerial coffin"). "

OH if correct

[dook]

"Interest waned when the Mods saw it as an attempt to get round the 24 hour rule..................... "

I disagree.

However, you have found the IMPA Tu-SA - well done.

Asturias has declared OH.

[dook]

This thread does not seem to attract much interest.

[Auxtank]

We're niche here in Shadow Land.

Get your teeth in to this one...

Auxtank is, as Asters is want to say; "Nipping out for a bit."

[dook]

Weapons stations look Saab-ish.

Appears a canard delta.

[Auxtank]

Alas, neither of those.

[Asturias56]

French perhaps?

Good dook.
You have controls?

[dook]

Cheers Auxtank.

[John Eacott]

Mitsubishi X-2 Shinshin ?

[dook]

A commendable guess but it's not a Mitsubishi.

[Auxtank]

ATG Javelin?

[Self loading bear]

The challenge has a pronounced “knuckle” in the fin.



Like MiG -35???
But probably more aircraft like that.

[dook]

It's not a MiG either.

[Asturias56]

Is it Russian?

[dook]

It isn't Russian.

[Auxtank]

I thought Mig-29 but then I saw that the fins are canted.

[dook]

Auxtank gets the banana with the ATG Javelin.

All yours Auxtank.
