i'd reccomend a different name, in keeping with Vought's tradition of 'pirate' type names...

[+KnightWolf45 1,147]

[Stratos 3,188]

Is possible to get this thing carrier capable so it can land on small NATO carriers?

Privateer? ;]

[+KnightWolf45 1,147]

thanks Ace Privateer its his

this desing was offer to navy whit change has part of VFAX iirc and F-16/17 in RL was to be for both arms just a matter of ading a hook and some bits on the front gear

 

Eye candy a something particular of this aircraft

[Spinners 15,986]

Brigand?

[+KnightWolf45 1,147]

lets make a Vote

Privateer or Brigand?

[Stratos 3,188]

Privateer for me. BTW cool to hear we will see a navy version too!

[+KnightWolf45 1,147]

got the hook done and working now on outher stuff like wing fold and front gear bits

[Spinners 15,986]

Only thing about 'Privateer' is that Consolidated used it so it would be about the same as McDonnell using 'Mustang' for the F4H-1. BTW I am aware that Brigand was used by Bristol for their little-known attack aircraft but that's on the other side of the pond.

[+KnightWolf45 1,147]

i see if privateer was already use guess we got to go whit Brigand

well hook wing fold done the gear will stay since it little space for changes....need to think it better

The Privateer was a lumbering single tail Liberator lay-off used for maritime patrol, they shouldn't have used that name in the first place ...........

[+KnightWolf45 1,147]

swordsbukker or how ever you wright that?

[Stratos 3,188]

Amazing, hope spanish navy will get his first supersonic fighter soon!

[+NeverEnough 78]

Cocas, do you mean "Swashbuckler"?

[Wrench 9,846]

and bristol brigands had a fairly short service life, while hte consoldated PB4Y-2 was still at work into the ealy 60s.

 

I'd vote for Brigand

[Faust_ 1]

I'm doubtful about the USAF adopting a maritime-related name to a plane coming from a own funded program

[usafphantom2 19]

How about Vengence?

[+russouk2004 6,958]

Vought "Jolly Roger" ?...lol

[TeargasHorse 287]

The Assault Recon Groundattack Hunter = ARGH aka "Scurvy Dog"?

[+EricJ 4,244]

Cutlass II?

[Spinners 15,986]

Cutlass 2 FTW!
