Blueprints of the Convair 201 were stolen by east german intelligence service HVA. The plane was reengeneered by aircraft factory Flugzeugwerft Dresden. From 1985 ist was built as FWD-85 Bussard.

Jammin Voodoos over Europe. One of my favorite what-ifs because I really enjoy SEAD/DEAD missions. With only two pylons available for Shrikes it's sure a case of pick the right targets!

179th TFS EF-101D Detachment flying out of Hahn AB on the first day of WW3 in 1986. Who would have thought some second lieutenant in a rickety thirty year old aircraft would be one of the first to fly across the Inner German Border at the start of the war?

What if the Ye-8 prototype would have become the MiG-23? The soviets would have had a fighter nearly as agile as a F-16A one decade before the Viper.

MiG-21F-13M, east german, czechoslovakian and polish  project to improve the MiG-21F-13.

It got a small air search radar, the much more powerful R-13F-300 engine and twin launch rails for air to air missiles.

Interesting concept! would be nice to see it developed.

BTW, anyone remember when the RAF joined the Vietnam war?
