Sure it does, diamond or square.

 

As to the origins, C5, of what?

 

The "Fatemoblie?" I am fairly confident this is the 1st time in my 48 years I have ever clapped eyes on it.

 

But that may be due to my not being a Cheesehead...

G'Day all,   I'm in the middle of a project at the moment, but I was considering doing an SR-71 as my next project.   Is anyone interested?   Also, if I did make a recon SR-71, would anyone be i

How about the Fatemobile? See the little canon on the front?

The A-12 was a single-seat Blackbird flown by the CIA, it didn't do attack. That was the LATER A-12 that was known as "the Flying Dorito" that was canceled by Cheney in 1990 or so.

 

The YF-12 was an interceptor IR tracker/radar/missile armed fighter with internal missile bays. That would be awesome to use against waves of Soviet bombers! :grin:

Not to mention that the MiG-31 Firefox would finally meet its match!!! :good:

I think those cartoons were heavily influenced by this Jack Lemmon / Tony Curtis movie:

pffft. Best used in waves of penetration fighter to keep strike corridors clean of hostile interceptors like MiG-25s or Tu-128s (WIP). If an F-12 misses a target or two, it should keep going like Durcacell Bunny as more F-12s come up behind fully armed. You can't slow down and dogfight in something like this, its one shot per PVO pony and then onto other ponies. But then any PVO interceptors if they are turned from their target, will then never catch their target -- F-12 mission success. I plan to have SAC use a modified B-58 (FB-58? :biggrin: ) for this purpose until F-12 becomes available in numbers.

U could do a fictional F-14 with Engines like the raptors and canards

 

That's a good idea... perhaps something like a Super Tomcat 21 or QuickStrike F-14...

 

(No Offence), But with canards... NAH.... they don't suit a Tomcat...

WE spell it easily cause in Russian it's got only 7 letters :wink:

Yeah, that's M-55. Seen it on MAKS-2007 very close... didn't realise before how huge it is. BTW, I think I got loads of pictures of stuff from that airshow, both mine and some downloaded from torrents (even with video!)... but so far I found the strength only put up >this gallery. Don't get jealous, I did it for EECH team :blush:
