LOL, in the 1970's I think Hawker Siddeley tried to sell the Harrier to anyone and everyone.

yea but you realize what that would entail? SHAR on SHAR action in 82! (keep your comments clean Dave)

Since there's no "FE2 Screenshot Thread" (yet), I'd thought that I'd post this here:

"What if..." the US Air Force had selected the YF-17 over the YF-16?

If they would have, it wouldn't quite look like that...

why not? hornet essentialy evolved from the YF-17. its evolution mightve gone a little faster being land based and not having to beef up for carquals.

[FastCargo 412]

If you look closely at the F-18A and the YF-17 you will note several significant differences. Yes, the general overall shape was the same, but there were enough differences that to do it right, you need a whole new 3d model.

Just foolin round in the F-5F for SF2. She looks so good. Although, a sharksmouth added in would make it stellar

That picture is actually a link to the website, right click on it to get the website address.

 

A good book for details on the YF-17 is "Northrop's YF-17 Cobra" by Don Logan.

Has lots of info, includes comparisons between the YF-17 and F-18 showing the differences...a revealing picture is showing the aircraft parked next to each other, showing how the F-18 was simply a bigger aircraft overall., Also shows how the original YF-17 evolved from the F-5. In effect, you can see the linage of the Super Hornet...all the way from the original F-5A.

 

Also, the USS Alabama museum has one of the 2 original YF-17 prototypes, I have several pics of it, showing how physically smaller it was to the Hornet.

 

However, one thing to take away from most US prototype aircraft is that very rarely do the contours of the prototypes match the final production version. If you'll note, the YF-16, YF-17, YF-22, B-1A do not match in nose profiles...because the prototypes lack radar. In the B-1A's case, it lacked it's defensive ECM as well. A production B-1A would look closer to a B-1B in everything but the engine intakes and wing glove area.
